I'll tell you why. I own land in Wis where the doe population has been decimated from years of "earn a buck" hunting. From trail cam observations I have about 3 bucks per doe. I need more does. This year I'm thinking about shooting a 1 1/2 year old buck during gun season for my meat so that the older bucks and does get a chance to survive. BTW, I have been a trophy hunter for 19 years. This will be the first time in 19 years that I will be doing this.
