I've taken doe before and got some tags for them this year. I go for bucks first, but will harvest a doe if its a decent size animal. I mainly hunt 2 properties: one my family owns and is loaded with deer, I got 1 dmp tag I can use and won't hesitate to use it. Other property is owned by a friend and he uses it for tree farming so he gives us 5 doe landowner tags and primary reason he lets us hunt is he wants deer gone regardless of sex. his herd is pretty decimated, years ago it was over-hunted. We will fill a tag or 2 there mainly to keep him happy and to give him some venison, but are actually the last few years seeing some growth in the herd so are careful not to overharvest, we just don't mention to him when we pass on a shot. Big racks are nice, but not everything for me. Yea I mounted my first buck cause it was a good size 10pt compared to most we see around the area, but its not all about horns for me, don't need another wall decoration or 400 dollar taxidermy bill. I like to challenge myself to accomplish a different goal year to year. So far I've harvested 5 deer (3 bucks, 2 does) in 4 seasons, 1 with a bow, 4 with shotgun, 0 with black powder. I'd like to try to take one with my muzzle loader this year and other goal would be another with the bow.
