I have thought about it and stand by my word. How often is a doe looked down upon by the typical hunter. Doe are often less gamy and more plentiful.
Trophy hunting is fine by me when a buck is truely a trophy. Taking a young (and often potentally superior) buck out of the gene pool before he matures and mates is pitiful management. "Live for the moment" hunting is destuctive in the long run.
All I have killed are "little" deer. All does except one button buck I didn't evaluate properly (I was a schumk that day.)
Guess what? We are seeing some good 8 pointers. They are mating! Give me a few years and I may have a wall hanger; maybe not, but we will have thought long term.
