Soooo, you did not shoot a doe that you may have otherwise taken? What if that were a decent buck @ 6:30 pm., would you have shot him? Just curious.

And in fact, I've done just that on more than one occassion. Which is why, I might add, I did NOT shoot that doe I had at 14 yards on opening day......A Monday, @ 6:30 pm. I had to go to work Tuesday morning and didn't want to mess with it.
Sometimes we need to use our heads, and maybe sometimes it's best just to not go......No matter how badly we want to. Sometimes we need to think of these things before we go to the woods........Ok, it's 80 degrees today......There will be no processor open by the time I get the deer back to my truck.....Can I realistically take care of it tonight?
If that answer is "No" stay home or don't shoot.
Ill anticipate his answer and give one for him[8D]
Hell yes! Time can be taken off of work to track down a good buck, as could a doe obviously, but buck opportunities are much harder to come by than doe encounters. Doe kills, ina way, can be timed out for convenience of cleaning time,etc. Buck kills, you make time for.
If mobow doesnt agree, well then that answer stands for my answer to that situation.
