I dont see whats wrong with being a picky hunter. I, too, hold off on smaller bucks even if they are legal. If it comes right down to crunch time, and a buck that may have been "iffy" to pass early in the season might get an arrow sent his way, but I dont see why thats a problem. I like to let the little guys go and watch them grow. If I need meat, I'll take a doe, otherwise i'm trying to take a mature buck. I usually go out with the intent to take a particular deer or multiple particular deer so if I wait until a certain guy shows I dont see how that is any more unsportsmanlike than any other method.

Some like to shoot trophies.. some like to shoot anything. Who is to say whats wrong or right? Besides, who cares? He can do his thing and another guy can do his thing.

On the same note, enjoy your time in the woods. Even if you only see small bucks or just does, its still a good time. Quite honestly, I dont measure my success by the deer I bring home. I measure success each trip I go out. If I see wildlife, and I see deer while I am in the woods, then my hunt was a success. Getting a big ol' buck is just extra.
