Default RE: Buck or Doe?

Love to hunt. period. especially bowhunting for whitetails. In the past 10 years I have killed both doe and buck at a ratio of almost 10 to 1. 68 does and 7 bucks. Keep in mind that I am in a suburban bowhunting deer control program and 46 does came from there. I love venison and am happy to take does where they need to be thinned out. I hunt two and occasionally three states so i've had a lot of unfillled buck tags. I'm very happy to let a 110" buck walk by and take the doe that comes by 5 minutes later. It took me awhile to get to this point and I still have EVERY rack, big and small, that I ever shot.

I guess I took the long route to your answer... I'd rather shoot a mature buck but I'm just ( well almost anyway) as happy to get an opportunity to take a doe as well.
