If we are going to manage the deer heard in the State of Alabama to trophy quality. I mean make it to where there is a 5 yr old mature buck behind every tree on large and small tracts of land (Nah, never mind. piss on the small acre guy), we have got to stop letting these kids kill young deer. Social media is riddled with photos of kids with young, small bucks. That 3 point could really turn in to something in 4 years from now and by killing it, you are reducing your neighbors chances of killing a mature deer down the road. I mean lets face it, how many of those kids will actually grow up to be "Trophy" hunters? 20% at best? So for every 100 new hunters, 20 of them will grow up to aid us in our plight to kill monster deer in Alabama. The other 80 will be posting pics with comments like "he ain't no monster but it's meat for the freezer". First deer should be limited to does to ensure good shot placement under pressure and then 2nd deer maybe 3.5 yr old, then 4.5 and so on.

We preach that today's kids need to hear the word "No". So we need to start telling them "No" in the shooting house.

Don't shoot the messenger guys, I'm just trying to come up with ways that we can MBHGA.
