Default RE: Does anyone NOT shoot doe...

My own approach to hunting doesn't always allow me to shoot does very often. Not to say I don't take a doe or two every season.. but my general approach and philosophy while I'm in the field simply just don't give me many chances to take a doe.

I always guess where a mature buck will be bedding during daylight hours nearly every time I am in the woods.. so on those days I do I will not take a doe.. no matter what she gives me.. unless however I know she has learned of my presence (which is often rare.. that I know of) then I am under a "take her" or "never hunt this spot again" kinda approach.

But generally speaking.. I do not shoot does during most trips into the woods.. unless I feel I can get away with it without spooking a nearby buck. Then I will gladly draw back.
