I truely wish I could see the same deer for three or four years.I would let a small one walk,but it doesn't work that way in central Fla. where I hunt.
If you see a legal deer , you better take him or her(????).
we do not have the luxiury to let them walk.
the property owners next door will take anything with brown hair. .we do get to take a few good bucks that just slip by the others.
I hear too many people say this. Your neighbors arent going to kill every deer. You say you have to shoot it cuz if you dont someone else will. But if you let it walk, it at least has a chance to grow. If you kill it, its for sure not going to mature. Let the young ones walk, you'll be suprised in a few year.
