I agree, and on some other points i disagree. I would like to see more big bucks.................who wouldnt?

I am not a trophy hunter to the extent that a trophy buck is all i would kill. Last night i let a guest of mine on a evening hunt kill a small doe, for freezer meat. I think we as hunters know what bucks we would or should kill becuase we have killed plenty of deer in the past. As for a new hunter, i tell them shoot the first deer they see as long as its not a fawn, but just a good first deer. Me personally i do not kill small bucks becuase i have killed enough of them when i was younger, and i would like something a lil bigger becuase where i hunt to drag a deer out is quite a chore, so it better be worth the work, not to say no deer is worth the work, i never waste my game. I think if a youngster kills a lil 4or 6pt, then great!! But if a veteran were to kill one where i hunt i would look at him kina funny. I believe in qdm, and have 130 class bucks in my area like its kewl, due to 15yrs of harvesting the right deer and managing the herd from a 8-1 doe to buck ratio to a 5-1 doe to buck ratio. I say kill more does and shoot a buck that is a trophy in your eyes, not someone elses. I would still hunt if they had antler restriction, i do my own antler restriction anyway, wouldnt make a difference in my book!
