Default RE: shoot a doe!!!

I bought 8 doe tags in SD this year and filled them all. I consider myself lucky if I don't get a buck. In my neck of the woods if season is during the rut, the bucks don't taste good at all to me. We have so many big fat does in the area that I hunt that they have to be harvested. The last day of season for rifle I know I saw 200 mule deer doe that day. They were all over the winter wheat fields and alfalfa fields. The season didn't make the smallest dent in the doe population. Thats because a lot of people just won't shoot the does. When disease and overpopulation wipes out the herd maybe the buck only hunters will be happy. Thats what will happen. Over the years I have seen the cycle repeat several times.
