You make me laugh by your IGNORANCE towards this topic and everything else you have been blabbbing about. You may have been hunting longer than I've been alive or whatever it is you call hunting. But I guarantee I've spent 10 times the hours in the woods as you have, have 10 times the amount of knowledge about the outdoors, 10 times the amount of respect and passion for the outdoors to not take a little year in a half old 5 point buck. It's not wasted money if you don't shoot anything you act like hunting is going to the grocery store? Do you hunt and kill food in the grocery store? Hunting is about the management and time spent enjoying the outdoors. It's called HUNTING....not KILLING

You keep saying if it's the last day blah blah and if you haven't seen a doe to shoot you will shoot whatever comes along. I highly doubt you'll see more little bucks than does. There are 10 times as many does as there are any bucks. You act like this is life or death shooting a deer to feed your family and you act like 30 dollars is wasted if you don't kill a deer. It's about the precious time spent with mother nature and in the woods. I take every day I get to spend in the woods a great day and I cherrish it. You act like you don't respect the woods and are just out to kill kill kill. I'm 20 years old and it really just sickens me your ignorance towards this discussion and mother nature in general. It's people like you who give me and goodoleboy bad names. This discussion is useless with you because you think you are it and do no wrong but in reality you don't have a clue.

For those of who you don't view goodoleboys and my comments go ahead and check out articles from the professionals at qdma.com, or any other outdoor website field and stream for example, they all will tell you shooting young little deer is not good, let the little ones go and let them grow bigger; and then you people who don't have a clue about managing deer might get a clue

A year in a half old or two in a half year old 5 point buck would be a bad buck to take because it is young and has the potential to grow into a great buck in a few years. However a 4 in a half or 5 in a half year old 5 point will not grow any bigger so that is called a management deer. You shoot that old 5 point to get his genes out of the heard. Like I said before a first time hunter or a kid should shoot anything they want. In this day in age in deer management you judge deer by how old they are...not just if they are a 6 point..8 point and so on. If I saw a 3 in a half year old 10 point that scored 150 inches I would not shoot that deer because he hasn't reached his prime yet and next year he'll be a 4 in a half year old 170 in monster. But if you're going to shoot a little buck....shot a doe and let that little buck grow into a BIG old buck and reak the benefits of you passing up that little buck 3 years earlier. I just don't understand why people just go out and see horns and shoot? Shoot a doe.

If goodoleboy does really does take handicapped kids out for deer and turkey hunts on his land, and take kids hunting a teach them to value the animals and try to instill good ethics in the next generation of hunters. He is a standout person and outdoorsman and you all should take notes for him. He says he shoots atleast 3 does a year. There is an overpopulation of does and it's great management tactics and promotes better overall heard health of deer. Which will in return produce bigger and better bucks. A 5 pointer could be a good deer to take if it's old and will not grow into anything better, that would be called a management deer. If you hunt on your own land you do whatever you want but I just don't understand why people just go out to shoot just any buck? The satisfaction of letting a little and young 5,6,7 point go and let him grow into a bigger buck is much more satisfying of shooting alittle buck every year. Much more...you all should try it. Make it a hobby set out trail cameras, keep tabs on your little 5 point and watch him grow into a 150 inch 10 point and reak the beneifits of your own management.

we should kick them out not for the smoking ban but for brining lowes to town

I agree 100% with goodoleboy, There are wayyy too many people who go out and see a few horns and shoot. If you are going to shoot a little 5 point. Why not shoot a doe and let that probably year in a half old 5 point grow into a 4 in a half yeard old 10 point. There will be much more satisfaction in knowing what your conservation and management can do and what you will get in return. That's fine if you're taking out a first time deer hunter or a kid, let them shoot whatever they want. In many of the big buck states there is a restriction; there has to be atleast 3 points on a side to be legal to shoot, which is a great managment tool, fantastic management tool which needs to be brough to KANSAS. ADMIREED, cut the herd by 60%, you're crazy, lets just kill them all!?
