Can somebody tell me what the percentage of archers to gun hunters there is, I'd really like to know. I personally try tagging a doe 1st because I could then be a little more selective on my buck. But let me ask you this, if they reduce the numbers of doe tags handed out, and I'm not one of the fortunate few to be drawn, does that mean I can't hunt archery that year????? Or do archers get 1st crack at doe tags?? How do you think that will fly with "Just gun hunters"?
I know there are many reasons a lot of people don't bow hunt, but if we're taking a lot of the "good" bucks, why not take up archery? The weather is better, you see deer in their natural element, and usually the rut starts right about the last week or so of archery season. Not to mention, a little more skill is involved (and luck).
If I'm guaranteed a doe tag, I would be more than happy to tag a doe 1st. RIGHTTTTTTT!!!!!! Like that will happen.
And Muzzyman, I can appreciate you guys who trophy hunt, but I truly love the taste of venison.But am I gonna shoot an 80 pound doe just for the sake of filling the freezer, or tagging it so I can shoot my buck, nada. Besides, how much meat can an 80 pounder give ya, 20 pounds of sausage, that's what.
