RE: shootin does
I was always told that if you shoot a doe that 3 less deer you will have next year.. blah blah blah.. my dad and grandfather were believers in that theory.. F that.
My theory is the first thing that walks by me is dead. Shooting a buck is nice and all, but i want the meat in the freezer. I am just as happy to shoot a doe as i am a buck. You cant eat the rack.
Another thing i was told by someone else is that you shoot the smaller doe (this years fawn) because its unproven whether she can breed or not.
Whatever.. I dont care young doe, big doe, Buck.. Its dead.. it goes in my freezer and feeds me all winter!
