You should consider yourself fortunate that you get to hunt a buck with a rifle. Here, there's considerable celebration after a day's hunt whenever we get our bucks, because, depending on the season, all we get to use are shotguns, pistols, or muzzleloaders. We did have a late doe season where we could use rifles in my part of the state, but it's likely to get nixed for the coming season.

On the flip side though, we have decent sized bucks and a large herd to choose from. Anything under about a 140 isn't likely to get shot at very much, unless it's an older buck who never got very big to begin with and needs weeded out.

My attitude towards wild game is a little off the beaten path, but I'm a farmer and a cattleman, and every deer we can get we will, the amount of damage they do in a year is incredible. Same for raccoons and turkeys, and coyotes. If we didn't have a single deer, raccoon, or turkey on the farm I could trade pickups every couple of years with the extra income.
