Default RE: Mature - Matriarch does....how to discern?

I'll catch a lot of crap for this...but I'm used to it.

I know there are those who don't target mature does. Fine. But I'm targeting (as a management goal)any and all does that provide ethical shots. One thing I was gonna do this year to spice things up.....is target big, mature does, only (unless I'm hunting with trad gear). I've had encounters with them in the past......and come out on the short end WAY more times than with their same age structure male counterparts.

I have killed a couple decent bucks.....but only one doe that I would say was "mature".

I give them their due. I'm looking forward to the challenge.
