I mainly hunt the gun season and will pass on all does the first 2 days of hunting(3 day season). I will also pass on anything smaller then a 8 pointer. Shot a 8 2 years ago. Last year i passed on what would have been a nice 6 pointer if one side wasnt missing. He came by like clock work every morning and night. I am hoping i see him again this year with a nice full rack. I am hoping no one shot him because of missing one side last year. If i dont see any nice shooters by close to the end of shooting hours on the 2nd day i will take a doe and let the small buck go by. I really dont need to get one for meat in the freezer hunting with my dad and brother.
