If you read my post H4L I said each to their own. I dont really care what other people do, (shooting trophy potential stags claiming it as meat, bothers me, but) as they are the ones that have to live with their decisions and actions. I would be a huge hypocrite any way you look at it if I did judge. My son is coming of age and learning to hunt. I will pass my feelings on to him, but in the end it is his choice how he matures as a hunter.
I started hunting in NZ in 1980. I know all about the numbers game. People moaning about numbers now, baffle me, as it is as easy to find a deer now than I have ever seen it.
It is my personal choice, that I feel good about, of not shooting mature hinds.
