Does Shooting small bucks benefit the trophy hunter?
I know it doesn't make sense but if everyone in your woods is shooting small bucks doesn't that leave the smarter more mature bucks for you?
I saw bigger deer this year than I ultimately killed so they are still out there for someone else.  |

I'd have to say for this season and next, maybe. It's definitely not helping you out in the long run, though.

I vote to let some of the stupid ones get older. I'd have a much better chance shooting a stupid 5 yr old[8D]:D

If your hunting woods that you know hold big deer and the guy down the ridge pops a fork and fills his tag doesn't thatleave the big one for you or is the effect cumulative
 I know science would not support but it makes weak sense.. |
