By taking it do you mean while scouting?

I would say yes. Get one under your belt, builds up your confidence for when the big boys show up.

YES! Take a shot at ANY legal deer. My first bow deer was a buttonbuck. Being young especially, any deer with a bow is a real trophy.

I would recommend that you shoot any legal deer to build experience - unless there are landowner/hunting club rules to the contrary.
