ok, so i had a wrong impression from reading everybody else's responses. I did not realize the magnitude of the ranches land area, or the style of hunting employed. My picture was sitting in a box blind watching buck after buck parade through the area of a much lesser expanse with a fence around it, just waiting to shoot one that is big enough.
I jumped the gun and opened my mouth too quick.

Just as you have a hard time understanding competing with dozens of other people who want to shoot every deer they see, I have a hard time understanding getting mad at a kid for shooting a buck before its time.

You still have to concede that consistently shooting a mature buck in a heavily hunted area is much more difficult than on a ranch that has dozens and dozens of them.
