There's lots of reasons a person may want to shoot a 1.5 year old buck, even beyond the culling principal the OP describes.

Not everyone is a trophy hunter. Some people just like to shoot the first legal critter they see, so they can get back to the bar. Some people just want meat. If it's legal, I have no issue with those reasons.
