Contrary to what we have been engrained to believe, I feel that hunting does is far more difficult than huntinga buck. I know, having said that, many would disagree, however, the most difficult thing in hunting a buck is being in the area at the right time and that they are there in the first place. A female deer is far more alert and aware of her surroundings 365/24/7! Bucks get "stupid" during the rut, which is why most people choose to concentrate their hunting time around that time period. If you get winded by a buck he will usually turn around and leave the area...get busted by a doe...she will alert every deer in that area...high-tail it out of there...and every deer will certainly follow. Back to my point. To hunt does, or any deer for that matter...concentrate on funnels and travel routes between bedding and feeding areas...but most importantly...water sources. As with all living things, water is 1st on the list of basic needs to survive...all animals will drink from a water source, when available, sometime during the day. Then play they wind to your favor and keep your scent to a minimum! Good luck.
