I have to ask, Why would you not shoot doe?
Guys who only shoot bucks are hurting their herd.
Guys I'm all for taking does.....if it's needed. But in some herds (Rob/PA's for example)....it isn't needed. I don't blame him for NOT shooting does.
He'd only be hurting his herd if he DID take does.
That's how I feel about the herd at our cabin land if we take more does than bucks,my pulse on theherd there is that the ratio is just about right. MY feelings last year were that we needed take a doe for every buck we took. ( we took two doe and three bucks) I feel the same this year about that land. The other properties that I hunt, could stand to lose a doe. I have applied for two doe tags in my WMU and one in twildasin's. He has a ton down there. All that mumbo jumbo said, I will draw on does as long as Rob has the record button hit. Or the first one that I see down at TIm's.
