RE: Should I shoot a doe this close to the rut????
I hate stinkin up MY best hunting spot by just walking to and from my stand! I wouldnt dream of shooting a doe and risk having to track her through their sanctuary.
THE BEST bait/lure/etc... we have during the rut is a doe.
Now....if shooting a buckholds no interest for you......then I say shoot whatever you want....whenever you want. I know I'm not messing with a nanny this time of year, though.
