As a relatively new hunter (2 years), I generally enter the woods with a,'if its brown its down' attitude. I want an early kill to put some meat in the freezer and to take the pressure off. However, when I sat for early archery season this year (3rd week of September) I made the decision that I would only shoot unaccompanied does and let a couple does with spotless fawns walk by. I also let a spike walk by later in muzzleloader season because I knew there were bigger bucks in the area (none of which I got a shot at) and because I already had a deer in the freezer.
