Another tip on a small buck kill of a young hunter, if you can't find something good to say keep yo mouth shut. To him or her it's the biggest buck in the state , treat it as such. Tell them what a fine buck it is , brag on a well placed shot and such.
My son killed a smallish buck several years ago and while delivering it to the processor another feller brought in about a 120" buck. He told my son "if you'd let that one go he'd look like mine next year". My son told him , "you let that one go he'd made a 150". The laugh was on the feller with the 120. There was several other fellers there and they got a huge laugh out of it. Any adult that says anything even remotely critical to a kid about a deer they killed deserves to have their teeth knocked down their throat. What an ass And he did, except it was by a kid and all he had to do was use his words. Made the older guy look like an idot in front of everyone else.

My kids have never shot a bunch of small bucks and they have gotten along just fine. When I started taking them hunting they sat with me without a gun and watched at times up to 30+ deer in the fields and we would talk about them. We would talk about that's a little one and that one right there see it's got a short face and weighs 40lbs, that's what they look like... and that one over there.... he's maybe going to be a decent deer next year he's probably 2.5, etc.
I am sure it would be VERY hard to believe for some of y'all that they never got bored because they didn't pull the trigger.
So when they got bigger it came time for them to shoot their first buck... behold...... we actually hunted for one. What a foreign concept in Alabama. Just like we had been doing. And each shot a nice deer as their first.
The reason they got a nice deer as their first buck is because they had the opportunity to shoot a nice deer. The reason they had the opportunity to shoot a nice deer is because I taught them how to hunt and not how to blast spikes.
They are fired up about the upcoming deer season. They aren't talking about blasting does and heading back to the camp house to jaw jack with someone or get breakfast or hang out playing grabarse with someone back at the house. Which is what many "hunters" real focal point is.
My oldest is asking me to get him a new pair of merino wool underwear so that they can sit on stand longer on cold days waiting on a buck.
How could that possibly be? True Story.
Teach a kid to blast small bucks and they will get bored with deer hunting. They won't stick with it. And they will never have any patience. If they ever do shoot a good deer it will be blind arse luck.
Also a True Story. Agreed.

Everyone has their opinion on what’s best, but even my kids understand the difference in shooting a baby 80-100 LB spike that won’t run off and getting to shoot a fork horn deer. We like shooting big does the best though!
My place, my rules......
Everything woke turns to shucks

The land owner on our lease sets the limits. Button bucks and spikes are not allowed to be killed. Dont matter if your a man, woman or child. His land his rules.
Old enough to know better but still too young too care!

Also a True Story. I agree with you about watching and learning deer behavior. I also agree with teaching them to be patient and hunt mature deer. But I also teach my kids and other young hunters to enjoy being in camp with friends/family and to get excited to go hang out with them. That’s the most important part of hunting to my family. None of us are hunting to survive. To many folks get hung up on the killing part or worrying that someone else is going to kill something instead of you. I want my kids to be excited when they hear a shot from another field. As a kid I didn’t care if I killed or not I just enjoyed the other part so much I always wanted to go back. I enjoy congratulating other people on their kills and I hope my kids follow suit. Don’t get me wrong everybody wants to kill a deer but don’t make your kids think that is all there is to hunting.
