Sounds like you imposed your standards on the young guy. Were your standards the same as they are today as when you were 14?? I doubt a 14 year old kid is so deep into QDM that he wants to watch deer after deer walk by. Maybe he does.......if so I apologize. Let the kid whack a deer.........he will be so excited that you will have to drag him out of the woods next time.........keep telling him that he can' t shoot and he will start to wonder what the point of going out is if he can' t shoot all the deer but everyone else can.

Think big picture with the little guy.

Besides, it sounds like the other hunters out by you have no interest in QDM so you are really just taking the deer from the kid and giving it to someone else. If no one else would shoot it either then I could understand a little more. I myself would rather see a young kid get a buck then anyone else.........and a 4 pt looks pretty darn big when your a little kid
