Im all about managing deer for size...but our standards are greatly loosened when a kid is hunting.
That 120+ inch buck wouldve been a buck of a lifetime for a young hunter,..and would have done A LOT for increasing his passion for hunting.
I think if a kid is hunting any nice racked buck is a green light for them. This may well be true for some, or even most kids, but I know it wouldn't have worked that way with me. If I'd gone to someone else's honey hole and shot a big deer sitting in their stand when I was 10 it would've substantially reduced my drive to go more and get better. There's certainly nothing wrong with your first deer being a random hoss, but there's obviously something to be said for the self discipline learned and the memories of the time and work it took to find and kill a big deer. If you make it too easy it's liable to cheapen the whole experience for a child whose opinions on hunting are still being formed. Both are very good points. However, at the end of the day, you have to yield to the person that made the hunt possible. Otherwise your chances of getting a second invitation are pretty slim and the possibility of angering the person are pretty high.
