Does anyone out there think shooting only bucks is irresponsible as a hunter in your area? I can only speak for my area which is overpopulated. Estimated 35/sq mile with 20/sq mile being ideal. I know of hunters that have taken two bucks without killinga doe and no plans to kill any before the season is over. There were 14,000 antlerless tags available for this area at $3/tag with a limit of 5/hunter. This year like every year, there are thousands of tags left over.

Now what about areas of underpopulation? If you can legally kill two bucks, should you limit yourself to one or none until the population rebounds?

If your population isideal, should you killa doe for every buck you kill? Assuming it's legal of course.
