I do this because I want to insure they do not accidently shoot a button buck. Their is no way to tell the difference of two yearlings that are 100 yards away in a low light situation. I will bet one of my paychecks that one of the two deer posted in this thread was a button buck and I do not want them to shoot those because that just makes the ratio harder to balance. So far this year, we have shot 2 does which our kids have harvested, but I need them to shoot at least 4 more. I passed on a doe this weekend which I eastimated at 100lbs, only because she was a young deer.
I don't agree with that,but everyone has opinions.....they all stink! If one of your kids kills a deer 90-100 pounds and have a mature buck with a nice rack come out they can't kill it?
