RE: My Opening Day & The Matriarchal Doe!
Justin this is just my opinion, but the sooner you take her out the better, whether there are others around or not. If you stay still after sticking her and wait until the others clear out they are very unlikely to know where you are. Another thing is your chances of seeing her by herself will be slim to none, she is a leader and as a result the others will follow and with the rut coming on you want her out of the way because the bucks will be running the does and if she bust you, you may lose an opportunity at the buck of a life time. Take her out and let a younger less experienced doe take her place.
