I have not even gone hunting this year, still to warm here and I HATE snakes. It's still golfing weather here. But last year I let several does and small/young bucks go. I normally kill one big doe a year for the meat, and then spend the rest of the season seeking out that Trophy Buck to hang on the wall. And as was said earlier, when a Buck matures, he is Very smart and elusive. I've been hunting off and on since I was 12 and have yet to get one worthy of having mounted and hung on the wall. But I can assure you, if and when I do get that Trophy Buck, there will be pictures taken, lord knows I've spent enough time and money stalking him, I want a LOT of damn pictures, lol. But I can understand those opposed to hunting, I have a nephew with who'm I argue with all the time. He will shoot anything with horns, with no intention of having it made into a trophy, I complain to him all the time, thats is why there aren't any trophy bucks in the woods near my Dad's house where we hunt. Kill a doe or 2 for meat, and let the Bucks mature to a respectable size before you shoot them. Personally, I'm looking for a 8 point or better with a nice spread or I'm not squeezing the trigger on a Buck. Maybe one day I'll get that through my nephew's thick skull.
