Sacrificing weapon quality for buck/herd quality and opportunity

Will this help buck/herd quality and who is willing to put down their rifle to hunt deer more often?

the more i hunt during the rut with a bow, the more i realize the weapon is not actually a limitation for hunting success. the biggest limitation is simply the minutes of daylight activity that species has on the day you're hunting them.

But I don’t understand how it will actually help herd quality. As in good D/F ratios and a growing herd.

I fully support limiting weapon lethality so tag numbers can stay level and maybe even rise.
