Just to stir the pot ;),

Who is to say what is right or wrong?

What if shooting any deer you see is the wrong thing,

And passing on small bucks is the right thing?

Its all a matter of opinions....

For ME, the "brown its down" mentality doesnt sit well. Now an exeption would be a first time hunter who has never harvested a deer or somebody who NEEDS to feed thier family. I truthfully believe that passing small bucks and harvesting does is the key to great hunting and larger deer. In the last 2 years, since i have implemented a standard to hunt by, i have passed around 30 bucks. And you all know the caliber of bucks that i have running around because of it (plus genetics and food sources).
I know what you mean Caleb. To me, a hunter should take anything that is a "trophy" to them. If that is a small buck, a fat doe, a world record, whatever. As long as it makes them happy and they are proud of it. That is what it's all about.

This is not considering people who are hunting to feed their families of course.
EXACTLY! If a spike (or any little buck) makes a guy happy, he should be able to shoot it, without worrying about the law.

We have done the same thing and we have been seeing larger bucks, but our neighbors still shoot anything they see.
So if teh restrictions were in place i believe that we would be seeing great bucks.
Dude, not everyone follows them. Even when they are the "law";)
Well if i didn't like what they were doin i'd turn them in

You said you'd turn them in if you didn't like what they were doing. Sounds like a double standard to me.
