Thread: The choice is yours.........

I'd shoot the spiker, mainly because I just don't really like killing hinds at all. I know they need to be shot to keep a natural balance in the herd but I prefer to shoot srtags and spikers. Personally I have no interest in preserving and or enhancing trophy potential, I've shot some good heads but I like the randomness of those encounters.
We shot a hind two weeks ago and my son wanted to see if it had a slinky inside, I knew it would and didn't want to see it my self... Anyway I showed it to him and it reminded me of why I don't like shooting hinds (particularly when they are pregnant).

My general rule is to try to always shoot the smallest available deer, yearlings are my preference and you usually can't tell their sex until you shoot them. :-)
