I was asking because I have heard from some people that they won't shoot does during the rut because they want to see what's behind them. Us personally, haven't seen that many times in the runt when we see a does come through and a buck hot on her trail. Many years we passed on does during the rut just to not have a buck follow and not fill our tag, so was just curious on other's thoughts.
