Ive seen clubs do that. The reason behind it is based on the belief that a buck wasted 4 days during peek breading chasing and courting a doe that ends up dead, rather than spending that time on one that will produce.

I wouldn't imagine it makes enough difference to be noticeable but I cant disagree with it but also wouldn't push the idea on those opposed

Do they feel bad for the buck? I'm having trouble understanding this one. Every doe in the woods is gonna get bred by something, eventually.

I'd be willing to listen to someone make the case that taking does early allows the more mature bucks to focus their efforts, but that's really a ratio issue not a timing issue. A mature buck can only breed one at a time and the spikes are still gonna get theirs, and probably aren't that different genetically from the nice 4 year old 8pt you want breeding them.
