Geeze I just have to ask a person that would take the buck , what part of doe season didnt you understand? Lets see the doe is the one in season and has no antlers (most of the time) and the buck is the one that is out of season with antlers. If they cant figure this out then they have no buisness being out with a weapon trying to shoot a deer.Guess that would make them a poacher, Ya think!Ethics in my opinion have nothing to do with this because i consider all poachers to have no ethics if they did then we wouldnt call them poachers we would call them fellow hunters.
