Cause it takes a steer to be 14-18 months old before it puts enough fat on it to be finished... Lambs we kill at much less than a year old.... Although our old cows and bull are more crafty during round ups, we don't have to practice any scent control with them, they take care of it for us by crapping all over the place 
Nature was messed up a long time ago Don when we removed the predators.. The things die in nature, the young and dumb and the weak be it from age or injury or illness. Yes, some of the strong die too but most predators want to take the easy way out. It is a dirty, nasty, vicous thing but nature is what it is. Personally, I respect your beliefs and pasions Don (I have lurked over on IBS site and read your posting for 2 years probably).. Not saying I would do everything the way you do but that is okay, people doing things differently is what makes the world go round but than again I am still in 1st grade, well maybe 3rd, when it comes to deer hunting..

Johnny ... aka BigJ12, there is a good chance that you might mature as a hunter along with several others who are at the stage where they must kill Kill KILL!!! Dont sweat it junior, every mature hunter was once at the stage where you are today. There are several good hunters on here.They all grew past it. Dont be one of those that gets stuck there. Keep working on your skills and maturing as a hunter and someday you too will have the will power to let a deer walk that you could have shot.

Why is it OK to kill baby deer but not baby seals? or baby rabbits? or baby birds?
Why does a farmer lets his steers grow up before sending them to market?
because that is natures way!!!! until kill-mongers posing as deer hunters get involved and start messing with nature!!!
ALMOST as dumb as recommending taking out the biggest, strongest, most dominant males every year and claiming to do it for the "Health of the herd"

Now you want a pat on the back for pimping your own book?? If you want to advertise a product then just become a paid sponsor.

And if you are rabbit hunting you make sue not to shot the ones that were born this year???
Don, you don't have a good argument, and instad of trying to convince people of the many good benefits of QDM (which I practice!), you come here and ridicule people who don't hunt "your way"... Guess what Don? Not everyone has private farms to hunt in central Illinios....
