RE: No More Small Bucks!
Nice post drockw. I agree with what you were saying along with Dopler to an extent. Do I think everyone should practice QDM? Well sure thats what I believe. However, people are going to shoot small bucks, it's the way it is. And as some have posted there are legit reasons for shooting a small buck. It is hard for me not to be biased because I hunt in WI and don't hunt out east where the deer just are not as big. It is hard to let a 120" deer pass when you know it might be one of the biggest deer you see. I myself shot my first buck with a bow 3 years ago and held out for a bigger one after that. I got my first one and felt it's now time to practice QDM with my "hunting camp." However, you should not criticize others for taking small bucks. They have that privilege to shoot whatever they want, but I would rather let the small ones grow.
