RE: How important is doe hunting
I shoot only mature bucksbut try to shoot a half dozen does each season. The family will use that many ( teenagers to feed and a dad who cant get out any more) and I am involved in a deer control program where it's good management to kill that many.
Oh, and I love trying to outwit those old matriarch does. A mature buck will get careless during the rut. A mature doe never gets careless!
