Last year I killed 8 does and 1 buck...We aged this buck at 5 1/2 years..I haven't killed more than 2 bucks a year for the past 20 years of hunting or so, usually I only take one...If I don't plan to mount it, I'll leave it alone...

I eat deer, year round, plus we farm, so we kill 40-50 deer a year...I pass smaller bucks all the time...

Now, one of my brothers is different, he goes to Canada or Texas every year to kill a big buck and asks me to go every year...Frankly if I have to pay for antlers, I'll stay here in NC and keep the doe population in check...
