In the "Does before or after rut" post Arrow2512 brings up a point I've never considered. He mentioned letting them all walk if they come in as a group so as not to educate them on your location forfuture hunts on that particular stand. That's something that hasn't crossed my mind but definately sounds like sound reasoning. Being in a state where multiples does are authorized (and also where it takes about 3 of ours to equal 1 good northern doe) I'd hate to limit my chances by taking even one of the locations I've chosen to hunt out of the picture due to this. I'm curious to see if everyone agrees or if there are other opinions.

Edit: I was hoping to edit this before I got any replies but looks like I am too late. Anyway, does it sound reasonable to think that we could possibly get away with taking one in a group without totally spooking all the others (for future) because of the quietness of the bow vs. the sound/shock of a gunshot? Nice quiet passthru and thensitting and waiting it out, with the others knowing something happened but not sure what?? Just a thought.
