For the first time, I am on the list of those eligible to hunt a piece of property that has numerous crop damage permits. The landowner wants a lot of deer taken and I' ll more than willing. However, there is a dilemma . . .

Antlerless deer are the only ones allowed. That being the case, I' m left with having to decide between button bucks (which I' m leaving for the future), a doe with fawns running alongside (which I also won' t shoot), very pregnant does about to drop fawns, or the rare dry doe which doesn' t seem to be very prevalent.

I was out last night and had a small buck under 30 yards and an " about to pop" pregnant doe just out of range with little (and I do mean little) yearlings at various ranges. What to do . . . what to do . . . ?
