In my bowhunting life there has been a natural progression to want bigger more mature deer. I started out shooting dinks, as everyone should, but as I grew older, I naturally wanted more. I began passing up immature bucks back in high school and have not regretted it, even though I have gone home without a buck. I've had about 1 chance a year at a mature deer, some years none. In those 10 years I've missed 2 mature deer, lost 1 and killed 2. Those stats suck, but that's the facts of life in a heavily hunted stated like MS. "Passing the Buck" isn't for everyone, and I would never want to legislate extreme QDM principles, but I think a happy medium would benefit all. Just b/c "YOU" want to hunt a certain way, doesn't mean all others do, you must meet in the middle IMO. And that goes for both sides
