Like others have said as you develop as a hunter and a man you usually start being a bit more selective - but then again as you get a bit long in the tooth and the trips are far and few between you change your approach.

The thing about hunting I like the most is the freedom - the last thing I want to see is more regulation and rules.

Live and let hunt...

That's on the money for me.
It does depend a little on what area I'm in when it comes to velvety's . Id just add that a lot of the time the fawn wont be at foot, mum can stash them away for hours at at time so I don't shoot hinds till feb.
