Location A (2/day bag limit) - First time hunting there (either sex day), a doe walks in first thing and I let her pass by. A big fork horn follows shortly and I let him go too, nothing after that. No big deal, though I do love does.
I used to make that mistake. I leaned that if a buck is following a doe, don't let it go if you have a doe tag. Shoot her and the buck will still come in and stop by her and you shoot him. That is if he is what you want. Like I have said, I'm a meat hunter and I like the does for the sweet meat. The bucks are for bone hunting!!!
