there are many hunters this day and age that assume just because they don't shoot a particular deer
that it will be alive year after year and forget to factor in natural death, or disease, or predators, or parasites,
or poachers, road kill, injuries, etc. etc.
of course, the particular deer may not have the genes to make a "trophy" rack, or the nutrition available to
grow one even with the right genetics to do so.
just me, i'd say hunt the way you want to and accord the next guy the same courtesy.
