I think if you want to build the buck population they might as well go all the way. Give them some restrictions and protect the younger. I don' t like " Earn a buck" per say, but think the idea of less bucks and more does is good. I' d just hate to have to pass a monster 10 because I hadn' t shot a doe yet. Let me decide when to shoot the buck if it' s going to be ONLY ONE. Does are easy. You can whack them anytime.
