RE: "Mature" deer....
Here's what "I" run into, guys.....
It seems these does are NEVER alone. They run in packs from 2 to 20. Typically.....I see 4-6 in a group. Someone who doesn't see a lot of deer might think the more targets you have under you.....the better. The day I shot my last deer, this season....I set out to shoot a doe. I had a group come in.....but with all the eyes and ears and noses.....I couldn't get bead on any of them. I was disheartened until the buck showed up. I NEVER had a shot opportunity on any of the does.
I find this to be true almost all the time.
