If my kids can do it, so can you!!!! And I have not had to enforce the rule since they are able to pass on baby deer. But they know I will, and if that means them sitting in the camp while we hunt, so be it. Otherwise, I would have at least 1 maybe 2 button heads hanging in the shed every year. I have to keep them from pulling the trigger long enough that they learn not to shoot everything that walks out. What's even tougher is the MS laws regarding bucks. My 17 y/o has to follow the law jus tlike me for width/length, but the 3 other ones are legal to shoot "any" buck. To make it fair and consistent, they all follow the rules of Zone 1.

I don't care what you say it is hard to judge the weight under some situations. Under low light in the morning or evening it can be tough. They grow on you sometimes too. I shot a 130 pound doe last year that I though was under 100 pounds and almost didn't shoot. I was shocked when I walked up to her and realized the size of the deer. If that works for you and your family,more power to you!
