We do but we still kill a nice 3 year old every so often and if it gets one of us excited then that's fine. Hunting is supposed to be fun
We will burn that bridge when we get there

Having grown up in NE Alabama and caught the deer hunting bug early and hunted em HARD in the Jackson County mountains, with a couple seasons where I literally saw ONE deer with a set of antlers (plenty of deer….just not bucks….because grown men killed every single one they saw)……I find the kind of sentiment from the OP being nothing but the equivalent of a Karen woman level of bitching. There are more mature bucks in NE Alabama BY FAR, with me knowing basically nobody anymore in NE Alabama that will shoot a two year old compared to how the slaughter used to be, than anytime in any of our lives, and yet people still worry to death about what the next guy is doing instead of thoroughly enjoying the fact your odds of killing a mature buck are astronomically higher than any other time in your life. The human condition just never ceases to amaze me.

The good old days as far as killing quality , mature bucks is now. Corn and cameras can make it mighty easy too.

I remember when guys in marengo county would brag about killing 20 bucks and i would look at them and think what an idiot!! I hav never killed over 5-6 a season and half of them would hav been does and the guys killing the 20 didn't need the meat. Be diff if they did. Yea - slaughtering the right term Jughead
Very fortunate to be in a lease with more matures than i ever had amd nobody goobering it up. I hav had a life time of folks gobbering it up in clubs
Get to watch some of the same deer every year and see them grow - kind of neat
But if u want to shoot a 2-3 year old - shoot him and enjoy the heck out of it - not my business
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self
We need prayer for our country now more than ever

Every day in NW AL. I’d rather kill a big doe than a 3 year old buck w potential. Shoot, there’s a good bit more meat on the three year old.
