I don't like the "if its brown then it is down" saying simply because most folks usually see it as a negative attitude. But, I do plan on shooting the first deer that walks by my stand, provided it isn't a button buck or fawn.

My plan is to shoot one in the morning...take it home and process it...then head back out in the afternoon for another. The same intent applies for my afternoon hunt as well. If I don't take a buck in the morning then I will go for one in the afternoon. If a doe presents itself again then I will take another doe.

But, once I have two of my three doe tags filled then I will go strictly for a buck and save my last doe tag for either rifle or the after Christmas archery hunt.
