I only shoot mature deer. I've been in a few clubs that shot anything that walked. When I would let the young bucks walk I just knew they would get killed later. I would only kill a mature deer about once every 3 years or so, and it wasn't because I didn't know how to hunt, it was because there were hardly any bucks making it to mature age. We all like to kill deer and brag to our buds, but it makes no sense why a guy that has a room full of small racks still insists on killing small deer. Now a kid or someone that has never killed any or many is a different story.
