I guess I'm not sure exactly what you aretrying to accomplish with this thread?
Why doyou care what others shoot while they hunt?

What would you do if: Peak rut was during rifle season, and you knew your neibors would kill anything brown?
I'm curious to know why you care how I hunt MY woods and what I shoot. I'm hunting for myself, not anyone else who is trying to force QDM or any other management plan on me. I (I should say we, my dad and uncles and I) manage my property as we see fit and shoot what WE want to. Thanks.

I'm not sure if you are directing this question at me... I don't mind one bit if someone shoots a small buck, big or little doe, or a fawn. It is their own choice, and if it's legal i won't put up a fuss about it.
I do hunt next to neighbors that kill everything in sight, but i still let the small bucks go cause there is still a chance they wil make it to next year. Again i'm not telling anyone to do anything

Well, I do shoot some of your "Big does" and I also hunt for mature bucks. I take a few does each year to eat, and they are usually mature ones without fawns present. I also pass small bucks in favor of taking a mature buck, and if I dont fill a buck tag, then so be it, I still have meat. These are simply my personal decisions, and if someone wants to shoot it and it makes them happy and its legal, Im happy for them. I think its helped out Missouri hunting by making antlerless tags unlimited in places. JMO.

I think "if it's brown, it's down" is a Minnesota concept. And all my neighbors bang away at anything, but I also pass on young bucks.

Here in bama they want us to kill more does because the population is growing out of control and that will hurt the bucks and does.
I believe in hunting for big bucks and once I get the meat I want I kill only the big bucks.
Remember the only trophy that matters iswhat is a trophy to me.
As long as I am not doing anything illegal your opinion should be kept to yourself otherwise your an ignorant jerk.
Bucks only on your property is you choice and your opinion. I respect that even though you don't respect mine.
