Do you ever try to gently educate forky hunter friends or just let it be?

Have you considered talking to his family about it? Maybe getting together a little forky-intervention? With any luck, maybe he will agree to go to forky rehab. It’s worth a try and likely going to be a process. Good luck

Benefits of an older age class are generally a socially-driven concept. When it comes to population dynamics bucks don’t have much impact until the buck:doe ratio drops below a certain threshold. A yearling has the same genetics at 1 year he does at 3 years or 5 years. I’m personally picky, particularly if I have meat in the freezer, but I think it’s wrong to criticize and judge others for their ethical/legal harvests. If they’re stoked, let them be stoked and be happy for them.

I love people who can improve the gene pool by not killing the young bucks. But I have always been curious how that is possible
