Don't shoot a doe during the pre-rut (late Oct). Last year I was doing my management part and harvested a 3.5 year old doe during the late morning hours.I made a confident shot on her and I wanted to get her back tothe house so that I could get back to the woods and not miss anything. Wouldn't you know it as I approached her, 40 yards to my right I see antlers, to my dismayit was the shooter I was looking for all year and he had already picked me out . If he wouldn't have been so far behind her, OR if I would have let her go, I may have had a 20 yard broad side shot on him. But that's why they get BIG.

Keeps you coming back for more.
