RE: Doe vs. Buck
There are some hunters I know who hunt only bucks. That's OK with me. I will take a doe any day I get a shot.
I get satisfaction out of the hunt itself. If the hunt produces a deer (regardless of sex) it's a bonus. The fact that I'm helping the population by taking does is an added bonus.
A friend of mine told me he was hunting his mother in laws land this year (no other hunters permitted). It is prime deer country and hasn't been hunted in several years. I asked when he was going to invite me. He responded, "after I take the 8 pointer!". I responded, "What if I only take does with a bow?". I got the invitation!!!!!
