We have neighbors that do the same thing - If its brown its down. The results will be a much smaller herd since a lot more does need to go if folks take a lot of immature bucks, which are the easiest deer to shoot. I'll keep taking lots of does till the ratio is right (about 1 buck to two does). These guys don't own the land so I guess they are not really interested in long term management. I support new or young hunters taking small bucks because they are trophies to them and a way to learn, but these guys have been doing this for years. Some like to say that they are meat hunters, but does taste as good as any buck, so maybe they are just poor hunters? Its not my land and its not illegal, so they have the right to do it.
