RE: how many does will you shoot in a season
I hunt in an area where everyone who applies receives a doe tag or "antlerless tag" as it's called here. I filled three doe tags and shot 2 bucks hunting in our camp which is meat first, big buck's second. We had one tag left and I passed on 3 does on my final day looking for a real big 'un.
What I find interesting is that even though we have a high number of does versus bucks our MNR striclty controls the amount of does harvested. In some areas it is almost impossible to draw a doe tag and therefore all the orange shirts are out there shooting everything with horns. This is in areas with lower deer poulations mind you. From the posts it seems a few years of not shooting bucks and only shooting does might make more sense?
