I would shoot a doe early, where I'm at there are plenty of others around to keep the bucks near by.

Badatta. Let me be the first to say, good for you. If you have no desire to shoot a doe and get no satisfaction from it, then what is the point. I personally do for the meat but I know plenty of deer hunters that don't like the meat, just like I know plenty of fishermen who don't like to eat fish. Do what makes you happy, as long as it's legal.
