Just to clarify a few things, I hunt in west central MN where the deer are abundant and one may see 30-40 deer in a 2 day weekend. Of the say 40 deer 35 would be does and fawns and 5 would be bucks, maybe only one mature buck, usually no mature bucks. If you are after meat in my area, shooting a buck doesn' t cut it in my opinion, you can shoot 4 does legally. In fact, my family tries to shoot doe fawns, we have gotten two of them this year and they taste great.
We also allow kids who have never shot bucks to shoot a buck or whatever they see.
I understand those of you in tough hunting zones shooting whatever you see, but if you see many deer, why would one shoot a little buck?
Lastly, I realize anyone who has a liscense has the right to shoot whatever they want, this is America. But it is also my right to disagree with those Americans.
