soark, how you doing bud[8D]. Hows those tower stands look for this year???? Hope you and the boy have a good one.

sling, excellent point on needing to harvest does and keep the balance in the herd. However if you only have one tag per year (either sex), what do you do? I know myself and SJ are in that boat. I can only speak for myself but I will take a doe on the last day(if I need the meat and the area needs the reduction) instead of a marginal buck. So I am curious to see those who are similar, what would they do? No wrong answer just curious. I personally know many guys will shoot any buck come the end of the season, just so they say I got my buck. However here we usually hunt public land or private but do not own it, so less sense of responsibilty and resources are required for the average guy.
