Wow. Very cool pic you got there Rick. That would definitely soften me up a bit.[&:].

But I think GMMAT nailed it.

I like hunting does in the early in late season. I like to try to harvest a doe in the early season to intensify the rut a bit, provide more food for yearling bucks and 1 year olds and its a different type of hunting in the early season that I love. I like hunting does in the late season because they are extremely pressured, smart and skittish. In fact the group of does I'll be hunting this late season have had my number the last two late seasons, with gun AND bow. Out of this doe group that consists of 8-10, I would say at least 5 of these does are 5 years old. I have worked my tail off trying to harvets one these deer durning the late season and I will view it as a great accomplishmen if I am blessed to do so this year.
