I use to get my panties in a wad about "shoot this one or that one", but now I just don't care to argue anymore. If it's legal and you shoot it, that is you and who am I to say anything. On the same topic, I don't allow my kids to shoot ANY deer under 90-100 lbs. If they do, they understand that they can hunt the rest of the year, but they will not be shooting anything else!
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.
