chucker34,

If you can shoot multiple deer where you are located I say go ahead and shoot the 1st thing that walks by (especially if it is a small doe). A smaller doe would be easier for you to handle being your 1st time field dressing a deer.
I too found a video much easier to learn from than looking at diagrams. I processed my own deer for the 1st time last year and the video I bought made it 100 times easier to do then by looking at diagrams in a book.
