Not trying to start a fight but words like "every" and "always" might not apply. Different hunters have different priorities. I carry and use binocs extensively but I would not hesitate to shoot a shed buck. More meat. I do not care much about antlers and since we shoot about as many does as we do bucks in IN, the biological management arguments don't seem to apply. But I am open to other points of view.

I try my best not to shoot fawns though. It's just not worth the effort for 25# or less of meat. I did shoot a late season doe fawn last year though. Sort of a snap decision.

We have plenty of deer in Indiana so we should have lots of tolerance for different ways of looking at hunting them.
