my friend who shot the doe, his reasoning was pretty good in my eyes. we are 17 and in high school. that leaves us with 1 afternoon a week to hunt. i dont get outta football until 630 and that is way too late. saturday morning i have films, so that leaves saturday afternoon. we need to shoot our does ASAP before the rut so that we can kill us some of the bucks we have been watching for the past 2 months. that was his reasoining. BTW- his father did shoot a big doe last saturday afternoon. so far between 3 of us who are really hunting, we have killed 2 deer. not bad for a week and a half in the season on public land. all of us have shot. my arrow didnt fly true, my fletching got screwed up. well, thats why it' s hunting and not killin!
