as the refusal of most hunters to shoot does is a root of the problem
You're right about that
Spaniel, and it's a mindset I just never understood. Sure, a buck makes my heart go THUMPETY THUMP and adoe makes it go thumpety thump - but it's still a thrill and I do love the meat from a young doe. If you've got a group of hunters just have everyone puttwenty dollars in a pool for the heaviest doe killed and see how interesting doe hunting can get.
