Default RE: Cagey does.....

In my experience does are not easy. Here in GA the season limit is 10 does and 2 bucks. If I have both a doe and buck in shooting range I will take the doe so that I will still have my buck tags.. plus the meat is better.
During the rut I have found bucks much easier because they get stupid. Also we have a long season here, and after opening week does get shy pretty quick on the public land I hunt and stick to thick cover. If there is more than one, there are more eyes and ears to bust you. I have only taken bucks later in the season.
I have been bowhunting a small strip of woods behind my subdivision where I am the only one hunting. In September when I was hanging a stand a doe heard me and came over and started snorting. That was the last I saw of her. I just found a fresh scrape back there so will hunt that for whatever comes along.
