I have never harvested a doe. I used to apply every year and usually drew a tag, but only used one on a button buck (my first deer). After that, when I started hunting on my own I wanted a big buck very badly. I could have easily taken a doe, but I was after more of a challenge and a trophy. Since you can only take one deer per year, I let many does walk holding out for a buck. These days they don't even offer antlerless permits, so unless you're a bow hunter it's bucks only.

If I hunted an area where you could take a doe and still be able to hunt bucks, I'd drop a doe in a heartbeat. They do make excellent eating, and some areas do need to have the does thinned out.
