    Hinds carry thebpopulation, one shitty stag can get over heaps of hinds, but heaps of stags can't get over one hind. In my opinion, atleast 50% of the hinds you see should be shot. If we don't, doc will. If we want to be taken seriously as hunters, we need to implement population control. If we look after the younger stags and cull some hinds, the stags will have good feed to grow good antlers and make them worth hubting. Each to their own, but I think a good rule of thumb for deer hunting is to try and better the previous stag you shot, that way we will foster a population of trophy animals worth hunting. Equally, deer numbers are exploding all over the country, numbers donned to be dropped for the herd and country side to be healthy.
