Personally, I have done my best to avoid shooting them for several years.

I have a 12 year old and would probably encourage him to shoot any legal deer his first year.

My 15 year old passes them now.

I feel it's a personal choice for each hunter and while I would try to encourage all hunters to be selective, I also wouldn't criticize a fellow hunter for taking any legal deer.

The exeception to that would be those who make it a point complain about BB kills and then kill them anyway.
