[QUOTE="Joe2Kool, post: 5011576, member: 1621"] Sounds like you have plenty of deer. And shooting one more, either button buck or doe, probably won't make a big dent in the herd. I think 8Pt said it, but you are way overthinking it. However, since your son has already killed two bucks, use this as a teaching moment to become a steward of the resource. Involve him in the decision. Don't overcomplicate it (like your did for us! :) ), but give him a couple of options and let him decide - shoot doe and buck stays for next year but she doesn't repopulate, or shoot buck and he's not there next year but doe repopulates. Keep it simple, don't get into the buck to doe ratio, and fawn mortality. But, whatever he decides, support it as a good decision! Just MHO. [/QUOTE]
