Some will say the guy was greedy.

Well, the limit is three bucks a year, as long as he didn't exceed that he's ok in my book. Maybe a little greedy, but he was "in the zone" that week.

I understand you believe strongly in herd management. That's one of the new things about modern deer hunting that I have not adapted to, yet. Although, this season was the first time I ever let a buck walk that would have been an easy, standing, clear shot; just because he had a little basket rack.

If the legal limit was two bucks, do you think hunters would focus on mature deer earlier in the season and let more small ones walk? How many hunters actually kill three bucks in a season regularly? I've only done that once.

Not shooting a buck smaller than one you've already killed isn't a new concept or exactly herd management. Like I said though. I've done the same and won't judge the guy.

I will judge him for using dogs. I have no respect for anyone that shoots a deer while running dogs. Congrats on hitting a moving target with a scatter gun
