If you kill the knot head's mama he just might stay around... I've heard that too. I'm sure I've done it a time or two as I have shot plenty of does with fully self-sufficient fawns in tow. However, I wouldn't make it a regular thing, the family tree of the deer on your place will have no branches! There's a reason the mother pushes the young bucks out. In-breeding causes non-typicals!!

The last knot head I shot was right after I'd shot a big doe at about 80 yards, watched her mule-kick & run to a thicket, I waited about 30 minutes , climbed down & walked over & it jumped up & I hammered him thinking it was the doe. I looked for the rest of the day & never found the doe, but it was near our boundary line & thick. Made me start being a little more careful when shooting does.

I may be missing something, but what is the likelihood that a young buck actually remains on your land? Aren't they pushed out to find their own home territories? So by letting them walk, you are helping your neighbors. Of course this depends on the size of your land.
For the record, I don't shoot young bucks, just trying to understand the thought process. This is the most ignorant reasoning I've ever heard. If you shoot the deer, he has zero % chance of staying on your property. Who's to say this young buck hasnt already made his migration and has set up his home range on your property? Just think of it like this. If you and your neighbors all take the "I'm going to shoot every spike I see because he is just going to move onto my neighor's property anyway.", approach,you are then all killing off the young bucks, and here by deminishing your future stock. Calm down Francis, I don't do it, just mentioning something I read. I think we are thinking the same way, there is no way to know whether the young buck is a resident or a soon-to-be explorer, so all the more reason to let them walk.

I think it should count as one of your bucks if you accidentally shoot it or not.
IMO, dead buck = dead buck.
