RE: Doe vs little buck rant
The people you mentioned have some pretty distorted thinking. Don' t let it bother you, because obviously they have a few screws loose.
Where I live/hunt, it is bucks only so quite a few young bucks get shot every year. There' s nothing wrong with that, and most people are more concerned with filling the freezer than bagging a trophy. But degrading another hunter for shooting a doe where it is legal is just plain stupid. I would also prefer to shoot a doe over a small buck if it were legal to do so. If a hunter chooses to shoot a small buck and they have fun doing so, then good for them! Same for choosing to shoot a doe. Nobody should consider themselves better than another hunter simply because of the deer they choose to shoot. It is a matter of personal preference.
