Got a 2F a 2D and several 2B's as well as 2 DMAP tags for 2F.

I'll scout ahead of time in all of them and will hunt and kill does where I believe deer numbers are high enough. I won't hunt does and neither will my sons where we see that numbers low. Not very scientific but we know our hunting grounds well enough to make that judgement. There are some parts of each WMU that I have tags for where I won't kill does either by landowner request or by personal assessment.

I also hunt Illinois and often get a couple there.

Both my sons will be hunting. The family can use up to around 8 or 9 and when we've hit that number, we will stop shooting does unless we're still seeing a good surplus and we have requests from friends and family for a deer.
