So if they don't hunt to your standards they aren't up to par. How about just worry about what you can control and let everyone else hunt the way they want. I shot a 1.5 year old buck this year and I'm super proud of that deer. My son was with me and that's the first deer we have killed together. We did a euro mount an dipped it ourselves. Son is super excited to have that deer on the wall. I will never be embarrassed of any deer I kill. You can't push your agenda on others.
