No BRT, the definition of selfishness is telling people they should allow smaller bucks, even though legal to walk so they can grow bigger so you can kill them.
"It's not that we hold meat hunting against anyone, it's just that we prefer you, A)didn't shoot every three pointer that walks by just because you can, and B)understand that trophy hunting promotes good herd management, and it helps pay for conservation that helps us all".
Just know that buck carries the same genes at 1 1/2 years old that he carries at 5 years old and the guy who is content to take a 1 1/2 year old buck that is legal, paid the same for his license as you did for yours so maybe the "we" in your statement above should just worry about what you take and not the legal kill of another. It really isn't any of your business if someone one who possess a doe tag takes a buck that doesn't meet you muster, perhaps they want to fill both tags.
