[QUOTE="TX300mag, post: 3989289, member: 1683"] I know the day is quickly approaching, but I dread the day the hunting culture shames hunters for killing young bucks. Once that occurs, the expectations of younger and newer hunters will be unrealistic. I've seen fewer and fewer hunters in certain states recruited and STAYING because they are either ridiculed for killing a young buck or quickly become frustrated because they don't kill an acceptable buck. This goes for children as well. If having a higher percentage of yearling bucks killed provides a positive experience for someone else, it's an acceptable trade off for me. It's especially important to me as I have several children who are very interested in hunting and I'm looking at the future. Tennessee is my choice for raising them as hunters for these reasons. If I'm disgusted because I let a yearling or 2.5 year-old buck walks and someone else shoots it then maybe I'm not ready for that level of management and need to evaluate my expectations. [/QUOTE]
