Default RE: Does any one not shoot does ?

I agree, in most areas we need to take more does! The county I hunt in, we are allowed 2 bucks and 2 does. Our lease rules only allows us one doe though. I would rather take 2 does and 1 buck. When you are taking the same number of bucks to does, or more bucks than does, it will start to reflect in the size and quality of the bucks.
You go into a small town near our lease and you here people saying "we aren't seeing many deer, we need to outlaw shooting does altogether!"
In reality, we do need to take more does!
Nature usually produces more does than bucks to begin with, so if you are taking bucks out on a 1:1 or worse, 2:1 ratio the herd will suffer.
