I have said it before and I will say it again...If you would be happy shooting a spike or a forkhorn then you should shoot mature does instead, for the good of the herd. What good does it do, shooting an immature buck that has not even begun to see their full potential? The old days were truly sad in hindsight, but I was young and knew no better, so any buck, no matter how tiny, was a gold medal to me. I would truly treasure taking a mature doe over a dink any day, I quit shooting dinks about 8 years ago. If it is not mature enough to be worth the taxidermists fee then it walks.
