It is my firm belief that the herd benfits from being in balance. If you have harvested bucks before and did not have the option of picking certain individuals of deer, then your way is, in my opinion, the best way to keep a balanced herd. If you would have had an option to pick nonproductive does, that would have been even better, but sincethere is onlytwo weekends left I would not haverestricted my hunts.

So... congrats to you and your friend.

Iassume that the doe did not have fawns that was depending on her skills to survive the winter? If your friend shot the doe from her fawns on purpose, he will be cursed for all eternity. The winter in florida is perhaps not a bottleneck.
