I was going to jump in but you guys are doing one hellofva job battling 49er!

BTW, the idiot that wrote that article needs to pick his hunting properties more carefully and abide by the rules. He doesn't "have" to hunt at those places and if he does, abide by the rules.

He also doesn't know the difference in QDM and Trophy Deer Mgmt and QDMA supports first-time-hunters shooting any buck.

Also, for some reason, some adults teach kids that "antlers" are golden! A first buck is but at some point, you grow as a hunter. At some point kids that learn restraint and discipline amazingly utilize these same qualities in other aspects of their lives to their advantage!!
