I shoot yearlings because they are generally best eating and at this time of year hinds have fawns to look after that will be next years yearling and so on.
There will never be management as such on our public land because we as hunters all have a different ideal outcome.
Trophy hunters want the hinds shot meat hunters want the yearlings new hunters want anything they can get.
I don't mind who shoots what really. I try to "manage" in areas i hunt but everyone else has access also so if they are all trying to "manage" for a different outcome we are all doing the exact opposite and everything is getting shot at about the same percentage.
