RE: Does Shooting Doe BEFORE the rut Lesson Your Chance at a Buck
I just can't help but think it is all about your ratio. If i see 8 to 10 does in one sit, I will put the hurt on one of 'em. If i see only a few does, every time I go, I will not shoot a doe in that area. I never worry about running a deer completely out of my area from taking one doe. Surely they deal with more stress than that before they'll bolt.
