I used to shoot everything that walked when I first started deer hunting 22 years ago. I live and hunt in the heaviest populated county in NC (Halifax). I can remember on 2 different ocassions sitting on the edge of a peanut field and having anywhere from 40 - 60 deer in the field at one time. With numbers like that, I can afford to pick and choose what I shoot. Also I get 10 weeks of regular gun season each year so if you can't fill your 6 tags with a population like that then something is definately wrong. I killed a nice 9 pointer last year and let a good sized 8 pointer walk. I did some scouting this month I have seen 2 nice racks so far and plenty of doe's this year.

Funny thing though, when you shoot a small buck, the antlers quit growing
