"Sidelines" Wrote:I agree 100% or if we could start only killing large bucks and letting smaler bucks walk it would increase antler mass and size on bucks... thats what i've been doing for the past few years now i only kill a doe to eat... and i wont shoot a buck unless he's worth mounting, but road hunting and spotlighting are bad in my area...

Several management areas are now requiring bucks to have a minimum spread of 15", this will allow the younger bucks to get a chance to reach thier potential size, I wish they could enforce this on private land but I know that wont happen. However I have noticed in areas that were zone 1 a few years ago where you could kill an unlimited number of does(Lawrence, Boyd and Carter mainly) you are now seeing more and better quality bucks. Fewer does forces the bucks to have to roam more to locate females, so not only passing on younger deer help out your chances of a nice buck, but by all means kill a doe when you can.
