RAH is correct, there are a lot of families struggling to put food on the table. A meat hunter, a real, honest-to-goodness meat hunter, will absolutely kill a young deer. Or a doe, or a buck. Distance of spread or number of points means little to a meat hunter. Neither does time of year, or time of day, or type of weapon used.
Bloodlines, trophy potential, number of deer taken, all irrelevant. What matters to a real meat hunter, is making sure there's something to eat come suppertime. Make no mistake, these people, and these situations absolutely still exist. At least they do in my area, and even my extended family.
If I catch a real meat hunter in my woods, standing over a felled deer in April, I'm gonna' ask that they notify me in advance before next time. Then I'm going to help them drag it out. It's thankfully been a long, long time, but I can still remember going to sleep hungry a few times as a kid. If your family is hungry, truly hungry, you kill that deer.
