re: B & C ruined deer and hunting camps

So what you are inferring is that people that want to try to manage for a healthy deer herd and try to kill mature bucks is ruining deer hunting...
There is always going to be contention between guys that hunt 60+ days a year and are very selective of what they shoot and those who hunt two weekends and shoot every deer they see. Neither of those guys are wrong, both are legal but they are after different objectives.
Yes, social media has made it to where every redneck with a keyboard is a deer expert, but to say that management has ruined deer hunting is an ignorant thing to say.

Used to be that friends congratulated a young hunter after hunting 3 years, not shot anything, and finally killed a "rack". Now it's "Your family is fined $500 and if you do it again your out"

You left out some details I would like to know:
1. Location
2. Details on deer other than score, points, width,
3. Age of deer (estimated)
4. Club criteria
5. Reason for fine, I.e. what criteria the hunter did not meet which resulted in the fine.

the word "healthy" is a bit of a stretch
as long as your herd isn't above carrying capacity I dont see how a club that shoots older bucks (selecting for older deer) has a healthier herd than say a tract of land that is brown and down (they are selecting for all ages)
what exactly is a healthy herd?
and do we have examples of unhealthy herds?
I would say the only places with unhealthy herds are places above carrying capacity and most of that is due to them not shooting enough does
