RE: Why is this? Bowhunting Contest Question?
No need, that would be a very small percentage. Rare is it that there are more buck than doe in an area. This year in my core area of my food plot I saw 7 different buck. I know I only saw 4 mature doe and thier offspring/ a mixture of does and buttons.
I had in the past taken does from this herd but again, I'm only one of two and taking more than my share would be greedy. I make bologna, if I want a steak, I grill a Porterhouse...this year tho I did keep some backstrap because I took a doe for Rick James to assist his herd management.
I'm not against doe shooting, obviously...I've taken many doe, several in a season with bonus tags in the past...now I don't need to so I don't.
In NC I plan on taking does to help GMMAT...but not in my core area. If it were needed, I would, it's not so I don't.
