Eww, that is a tough call. I would say if you had a doe tag go to where you could hunt them. Then you could at least take advantage of either sex if presented with a shot at a doe or legal buck. I would also say go deep, wear lots of orange and take a cell phone/FRS radio or use the buddy system to check in with one another at prearranged times.

Overrun with hunters on opening day. Seems to be the case with a lot of public lands, go deep stay all day. Chances are joe six pack won' t sit past 10am and he might push one right to you.

3 a week would have been heaven to me during bow season. All archery season I only saw 3 deer.
