With all of the hype lately about "mature" bucks, I was wondering how many of you believe a "mature" doe is an equal advisary as far as cunning is concerned?
Forgetting that mature bucks are reclusive by nature, I believe a mature doe is at least as wary, if not more so,as a mature buck, who only looks out for himself,because she has spent years raising and looking out for her offspring. She spends much more time out and about for this reason.She not only has to watch out for herself but the little one's as well, perhaps giving her the edge on alertness.What do you folks think?
Let me add this to the thread. Of the 30+ deer I've killed, 17 were doe. Of these, only 3 were "mature/matriarch" doe's. The biggest was this one. She weighed 149lbs (butchers scale)dressed with legs cut off.
