I dont like hearing about 11 and 12 year old kids passing up does it agrevates me if u can shoot a doe go on and do it i dont see why not because when it comes down to the nit picking you just cant eat antlers unless your some kind of freak or something my first two deer where does one w/ a muzzle loader and one with my trusty old 243 and i have no regret shooting them ppl gave me heck about it and i told them that if they kinda some way to eat antlers than i would pass up a doe and they left me alone so when it comes down to all and all you younger hunters take advatage and shoot a doe its just as much excitement......... I would like all of your opinions please
