What so many of us are saying but you are failing to read is that we are just trying to get some more people to start passing on young bucks, NOT MANDATING IT FOR EVERYONE. Neither extreme is what most people want. While I feel it is stupid for all people to shoot small bucks "just because" I also feel that having everyone wait shot nothing less than a 180" 6 1/2 year buck is just as pointless. I kept shooting small bucks for longer than I probably should have, and it took me a while to figure out that only hunting the first few weeks of the season, pretty much sucked. If by reading all these battles someone can make that decision to hold out for something bigger, even in areas where they may go buckless, they will get to enjoy a lot more hunting throughout the year. I would never want to eliminate the guys who are just starting out, or guys who have crappy spots or limited time from shooting what they want, it's those guys who have the kills under thier belt who are on the fence and hesitant about holding out. Those are the guys most of us here are trying to reach.
