Default RE: do you hunt for mature deer only ?

I've got a three part question here ...... do you hunt for mature animals only and if so, why ?
No.

I find it impractical to hunt for bucks, PERIOD, on the properties I've been hunting. I take them when the opportunity arises. I go to the woods about 3-5 times a year targeting bucks. The rest of the time I consider myself an "opportunist".

On the new properties I have for this year.......yes. I will be targeting mature bucks......but I'll take an occasional doe, also (especially in the right situation). It'll be quite the PITA to get an animal out of these areas (2 of them)......so I'd better make the kill worth the drag.

I am NOT choosy about which does I take. I'll kill ANY female deer....on a few of the properties......including does with fawns and fawns.
