Come on Man!!! Hard to judge the weight????? If the deer is smaller than your lab, don't shoot it! If two small deer come in together, they are probably sister/brother don't shoot! If the deer has his head between momma's legs, he is still sucking don't shoot!

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.
