I like to take at least one deer a year. It will be an adult deer. My first deer was a button buck, and that made me sad. I killed next a potential buck for the next season.
I will admit, I prefer to shoot bucks, but if the gun season is moving to a close with no dead buck a doe will suffice.
I'll just hopefully shoot the doe closer to where I park than where I have been the last two years. It's a 2.75 mile drag from my stand to the truck. I don't want to drag a doe out that far if I can avoid it. I hunt paper mill land, so no powered method of getting the deer out is legal.
The catch for me is, that I don't need a monster buck. The average bucks, like the three I have taken off of my stand in the last two years, are good enough. I get meat, and horns for decoration. Putting antlers on a plaque is pretty darn cheap compared to having the head mounted.
