Default RE: Buck with a doe.

ORIGINAL: Kamil

Say you have to shoot a doe in you state in order to get a buck tag. Opening day a doe comes in with a buck 20 yards from your stand. Do you shoot her and not care about the buck? Or do you not shoot her because you might scare/ educate the buck away?

I've always thought about this scenario and just wonder what some of you guys think
If it's a BIG buck, I'd just watch them so I didn't give my presence away/educate him. On a side note to this. ThePa Game Commhas given preliminary approvalto allowing a second deer to be shot before tagging the first one! This will only be legal in certain Special Regulations WMU's if it becomes law. Personally, I think this might bring on somebad hunting ethics.[:@]They are also adding 2000 more antlerless tags to my WMU (5-D). That's how badly they want more deer taken from this region.
