Default RE: Does in archery contest for 2008?

this been talked about a couple times this year....

if it happens, i wanna be on GMATTs team

i personally dont take does from most of the areas i bowhunt. why?? we underwent major herd reduction in PA and took ALOT of does. rifle hunters still take does...this bow season i didnt identify 1 true doe. many identified bucks, many unidentified deer, some of which may have been does and others i believe were bucks by body size and language..they are out there, but not in numbers like they used to be...in my eyes, the herd is about perfect in the areas i bowhunt alot...so i choose not to take them...yes, if im in an area and see alot of does i wont hesitate to take one...love venison in the freezer...but most the time the does get a free pass to go get bred and drop me more bucks...
