I dont get it. I dont care about hunting hot or cold or blue tape or not. When does deer management come into play? I hunt hot but that is not the issue i have passed on hundreds at least, maybe thousands of small bucks and young spikes. Lets face it. If you factor the hours hunting x price of tags x price of rifle. Where do you come out ahead on killing a 2.5 yr old spike or 4 point? If you factor the price or hours of processing and your time is worth anything to you, its cheaper to buy beef. Whats the point of killing a 40" deer when you could have shot a doe that is guaranteed to never grow into a trophy and has better meat? I know kids is the reason but would a kid have any preferance over a 40" 4 point or an old doe? Enlighten me.
