I' m not aware of any state that doesn' t allow does to be tagged with a ' buck' tag (' any deer' tag), but I don' t hunt every state, so I could be wrong. However, if your state is like KS, ' buck tags' are really just ' any deer tags' so you can take a buck or doe on it. There' s no reason to harvest a young buck, harvesting a mature doe is more worthwhile in my eyes than harvesting a young buck, even up to large 4pts, small 6pts, and even one small 8pt (fruit basket rack) have walked acrossed my glass on several occasions, and I' ve moved on to fill one of my doe tags that day, come the end of ' buck season' if I haven' t gotten a buck yet, I can still use the any deer tag on a doe in extended season.
