How many does should be shot for each buck you take?
I for one thinkthat it depends on the doe population and the buck to doe ratio in your area.But we can have a on average opinion for this.

I usually take atleast 3 does for every buck I take.I have a rather large deer and especially doe population he in southern Illinois.So I have implemented my own QDM since a lot of hunters around here will only take a buck especially during shotgun season.I also wont shoot bucks without atleast 4points on each side.This includes last chances for the end of the season.I have tried to hold myself to only taking a buck if he will make P&Y.I will not take a buck this year unless he makes it P&Y.though this would hurt my team but I do believe they would understand my decision.
