Would you shoot a doe during the rut, or sit and waithopefully for a buck to follow?

All depends on what your goals are. How many days do you have to hunt? And are youmeathunting or bone collecting?

I look carefuly to see if one is following if not i send the arrow home. I am more of a meat hunter than a antler hunter anyway so i'm sure other s will hold off

Not if I already have meat in the freezer. Shooting does is what the early part of Oct and the late part of Dec is for.

While it pains me to agree with the Air Force,

this is a good answer. One of my goals is to fill my freezer with venison, so normally I would down a doe during the rut. This year I already have four in the freezer, and if I don't slow down, I'm going to run out of space. I'll reserve the rut for bucks only this year. Besides, it should ALL be about what YOU want.
