I totally agree. What kind of deer management would we be doing if everyone shot only bucks, much less trophy bucks. On my farm I shoot does first, and mature bucks second. Does are better table fare as far as I'm concerned anyway. And they are HARDER to hunt because in my experience, they don't respond to calls or scents like bucks do. Here in Iowa we have too many does and yearlings anyway, so as "Deer Population Reduction Specialists" as one member puts it, it's our duty to take the does and yearlings as well as the bucks.

KEEP IT LEGAL. KEEP IT SAFE. OR WE MAY NOT GET TO KEEP IT AT ALL.
