I think a lot of the "I'll take the 1st legal buck that comes by" might come from the season. There are only 2 Saturdays a year to hunt with a rifle. Opening day was on a Monday and there's no Sunday hunting. Doe season was always 3 days and it was Monday-Wednesday. People didn't have time to hunt if they had limited vacation and taking extra vacation to hunt does was not all that popular. Junior hunters had school and couldn't hunt doe at all unless their parents pulled them out of school. Now that they have the concurrent seasons, getting a doe will be more accessable and meat hunters can shoot a doe and not kill the spike. Things will improve. I don't know why opening is always on a Monday.
