I would take as many doe as you could this year. I am sure that your local DNR keeps tabs on the herd so if the whitetail population was thinning down, they would repeal the 10 doe rule. The areas I hunt have a very high doe to buck ratio. I once saw a herd of 26 doe walking across a field I had just crossed. In some counties of Maryland we have unlimited doe during bow season. I plan on donating a lot this year.
