What else needs to be said? Does it really matter why it is done? So if I shoot a doe I am addicted to horns? I really don't see how that is possible. I shot a doe but, I am a horn hunter.
It does matter why it is done. If you shoot every doe you see because your pals think you da man for doing it.Its wrong!
If you shoot a doe because you are a deer hunter and are doe hunting thats different.Thats deer hunting !
Killing does like you would Norway rats is wrong ,if you lack any respect for deer quit hunting them.
And by your next statement you answered your own question by telling us you would shoot the largest buck!You are a horn hunter.
Question for you and everyone else that has or will respond to this thread.
If standing side by side would you kill the following?
1 1/2 doe or 1 1/2 5point.
2 1/2 doe or 2 1/2 7 point with a 12 in spread and short tines
3 1/2 doe or 3 1/2 8 or 10 point with a nice rack that would score 120-140
I will answer first
