The deer population is a problem in Maryland (good for us hunters), the number of deer you can take in zone B during the gun season is 2 antlered 10 antlerless! That goes for archery and muzzel loader too. That's 30 doe and 6 bucks per hunter! If you shoot a buck you need to shoot two doe before you can shoot another buck.

My daughter has hit 2 deer this year with her car and has cost me and my insurance company more than $5,000 in damage.

My roots are in Minnesota and we also were brought up not to shoot doe so I can relate to your delema. I don't have a problem shooting doe any more, one reason being population control and the other reason is they tast really good.
