Default RE: bucs or does?

If I'm looking to put meat in my preezer I'll shoot a doe and let little bucks walk. I know that a lot of what I let walk will get shot later in the season but bucks won't grow bigger once their dead. Hopefully a few will survive and I'll be rewarded in years to come.

One property I use to hunt was also hunted by a family of about 8 relatives. They absolutely refused to shoot does but shoot every spike that walked by and then complained about a lack of quality bucks. Needless to say I don't hunt there anymore. There mentality and ignorace was too much for me[:@][:'(]

*****Edit*****
IMO if you want to shoot small bucks and it's legal that's ok. There is nothing I hate worst then seeing someone shooting every spike they see and then whining because there are no good bucks. Go figure JA![:@]
