Seeing a monster without having your doe down yet does suck i agree. I had it happen to me on a cwd mulie hunt down southwhen we saw a group of 2 180 plus bucks hangin together but no buck tag yet, hurts a bit but you know you are still doing the right thing. For us here does are not difficult to kill at all,they could be taken with a hammer if it were legal so i do not think anyone would have much difficulty filling a doe tag within the first hour of the season. I guess it is different for everyone as we live in different areas and have different deer ratios.
