I started shooting ANY and ALL legal deer possible. Because I choose to hunt with a bow, I figured back in 1981 when I started deer hunting, that I needed all the LEGAL practice on live targets I could get. Heck, even seeing a deer back then Let alone a buck, was almost IMPOSSIBLE. ANd then to try to kill that deer with a bow was CRAZY thinking.
But after killing a couple hundred deer, and several P/Y class bucks, I have come full circle.
I hunt and kill what makes me happy at THAT time.
I also believe, that after travelling all over several states, and COUNTIES, it is VERY difficult if not IMPOSSIBLE for MOST other hunters to understand where most of us, on this forum, are "coming from" when referring to our feelings on the subject of deer hunting.
THe reason I feel this to be evident is because it is VERY difficult for a resident of say Williamson County, Tn. to relate to why a resident of say Polk COunty, Tn. won't pass on an "immature" looking buck. THese may be two extremes but they do prove a point.
It is VERY easy to be choosy when there are LOTS of CHOICES!!!
Try going ALL deer sesaon KNOWING you will do VERY well to SEE, let alone get the chance to kill, 5 bucks...THE ENTIRE SEASON!!!

The entire topic takes a lot of "outside the box" thinking. If a hunter gets the opportunity to hunt outside of their Region, they'll find that it is IMPOSSIBLE to make blanket statements regarding what you'd do given this situation or that situation because it COMPLETELY depends on where you are hunting.
If I am hunting in a place that high HIGH deer density, and GREAT "trophy" potential, I pass on "sub" deer. If I am hunting a place that has few deer, I am not near as picky.

See what I mean!!! Imagine hunting all turkey season, or driving near your hunting grounds, and NEVER laying eyes on a deer. Imagine beginning a Fall season KNOWING you've seen little if ANY deer sign or movement for MONTHS, if not YEARS pryor to taking the stand. And then tell me that you are going to be picky when the time comes.
Not only do you have VERY few deer to see from your stand, IF ANY, but your shot ops. will be fewer still, for bucks.
It is easy to talk about limiting other hunters, when your fields are full of deer to chose from.
