Default Cant pull the trigger/pics

I have been hunting for about 7 years and have shot bucks but never a doe. I have a management permit so today I decided it was the day to shoot one. About 2 30 a doe comes in all by herself and feeds for a half hr I COULDNT SHOOT! I had her 45 yards broadside saftey off and the whole nine yards. She left and about and hr later two more come in one was very nice prolly 125 lbs yet again perfect shot opportunity and had the safe on and off about 100 times but just couldnt bring myself to shoot her.

I think the problem is that I was brought up to take only bucks and never to shoot a doe. I know that these doe need to be shot and see plenty of them but just cant bring myself to do it.
Does anyone else have this problem?????

Side note My friend shot a nice 9 pt buck this morn here in washington county NY hopefully I can get some pics and

Here is my buddies 9ptr he got

After years of them destroying my garden, running into my vehicles (ever notice they never try to run through your old beater trucks?), and eating the potted plants off my porch....no I don't have any trouble. I take 3 a year as its my legal limit, ever saw what hemmoragic disiease does to them when they're overpopulated and starved in the spring? ya better thin them down!

My old man is an old school deer hunter. It took him a long time to get used to the idea of shooting doe's. I remember the first doe he took, he looked sick! He said he wasn't sure how he felt about it and didn't think he would do it again. After years of showing him videos and articals on the topic of proper deer management well lets put it this way he took two doe's on the 22nd of Nov and was as happy as a pig in sh well you know! It takes some getting used to when you were taught for years that killing doe's is tabboo! I like taking young doe's for the taste! mmmmmm!
