"let them go, so THEY will grow" ... I refuse to kill baby bucks/buttons ... I'd rather take a 1.5+ yr old Doe and go without a buck for the season if I cant get a good buck.. heck, since all I do is BOWhunt nowadays, I'm satisfied with trying for the two archery kills ... .. now, that being said, I am perfectly satisfied taking a 3.5+ yr old on the state land I hunt .. deer I would have normally passed when I had good private, I will now consider ... my goal is always kill a Doe for meat first (dosnt always happen) then hold out for a good buck, heck the last few years, the Doe came in Dec. after taking the buck ... glad hunters are passing the youngsters more and more
