RE: is the season a bust if you don't kill a buck?
If you hunted where I hunt (Genessee County in Michigan) you'd be thrilled to see that many deer. I don't care if they are bucks or does. I've been out 10 times now and seen one doe and two fawns. Same thing last year during bow season. You don't know how lucky you are to see that many deer in one season. When you go all season and only see 3 or 4 deer you have to take your shot when you get it and be thankful. It's tough hunting, but every time I see a deer I get that buck fever feeling even if it's a doe 100 yards away. Count your blessings and shoot some does. If you won't, I'd be happy to come to your camp and get my first bow kill.
