If I hunted w/ someone on the same property, and they continually shot small bucks, I would never in a million years preach, or even suggest to them, that they should hold out for a bigger one, why? its none of my business! If I want to influence someone, I show them by example what they can have if they hold out, and if that person decides to follow suit , then thats their choice too.
1) Last time I checked, this was called a discussion forum.
2) I'm not telling you (or anyone else for that matter) what to do. I want to kill mature bucks, so I'm willing to let the little ones walk. You want to kill whatever. That's great. Go for it.
3) QDM is not some kind of conspiracy to make you feel inferior. It's just another way to look at deer management. If want to shoot little bucks, that's your business, brother.
