It isn't "just" about rack size for myself or my fiance's boy. It's about makingus better hunters and hunting for the experience not just killing for the sake of killing. And for your info... the boy shot a nice doe on Friday which was his first deer and passed up a spike but harvested a nice Y buck for his first buck on Saturday. If he had more days to hunt he would have passed on the Y also butI have to spend some time taking his mom out this week so this was probably his last chance for the season.He was equally thrilled for having harvested each but now he has his sights set on an AR legal buck or bigger for next year. This first year for him was what it should have been- getting a deer under his belt and now he is ready to move on to abigger buck next year. This is not unlike any other lesson we have taught him about succeeding inlife... Always try your best and don't settle for less than what you are capable of achieving.

Just curious, since you believe we have to kill button bucks and fawn doeto meet the PAGC'c harvest quota.If we no longer have an AR, should we then go back to the 3 days of doe after Buck with rifle season or just start killing every deer that walks in front of us all season long? Do you believe non AR bucks make up enough of the population that if we could then kill spikes we would meet the kill quota with a 3 day doe season?
