Yea, young deer should be allowed to age.

I am currently on a lease that is part of a 50k acre parsial managed by one biologest. What the biologest says is the way all 50k acres is managed. He usually allows one trophy (8pt or better), one cull (I have always thought a cull should be shot with no limit), and one doe. That means if I let the fork pass, everyone in 50k acres will let it pass. I will have a good chance of seeing him when mature. One of the benefets of leases (there are many drawbacks).
