"I do know way to many hunters who have that attituide and they do take offense to that comment. I just tell them , You were not complaining when you bought every doe tag you could get your hands on and was stuffing your freezers full of meat. what did you think was going to happen when you were killing off the child bearers. I do realize peoples legit concerns about the deer population, thats why I don't shoot does, they should follow suit. I went six years with out killing a deer until the nice buck last year, and I enjoyed every minute I was out there for those six years. I guess I just have a different attutide towards hunting than most hunters."

I agree with many being "hypocrites". But many of us are not. I have had no intention of killing a doe for years, nor do I expect to soon. I kill my buck every year with my bow and wait until some time in the future when the herd may be more conducive in my opinion to more doe harvest before I will once again take up the flinter and shoot a doe or two late season, as Id always enjoyed doing with family members years past. Aside from a couple of buds young kids, none of my family or hunting partners shoot doe.

Also worthy of consideration is the fact that even if half of us had no intention of buying or using a doe tag, with 900,000 hunters, if less than half intended to shoot doe, or kill as many doe as they have tags for, that is still more than many other states total hunter numbers at 450,000.

Just as pgc understood everyone wasnt going to voluntarily refrain from shooting 75%+ of our yearling buck so they implemented antler restrictions...so it is with the doe harvest. If its legal to kill doe indiscriminantly guys will do it until it is responsibly and legally curtailed.
