I hunt an "earn a buck" zone - I have to check in a doe before I can kill a buck. No biggie though, I like to have 3-4 for groceries.

I plan on shooting as many does as walk by my stand this year. Young bucks, no, I will pass on them. But does are a different story.

ill shoot a doe on the bow opener.and every other 1 i get a chance on in the first 2 weeks of bow season here in ny. after that its only ole mossy horns ill pull back on.until after the first week of shotgun. then its anything without headgear or the biggin's

yep need 3 deer to get me thru the winter

Yep, I'll take every one that offers me a shot. Antlers look pretty and you can brag about them but you sure as heck can't eat them.

I like to shoot my does early and get them out of the way. The past 2 years I've struggled with taking does early. I'm hoping to finally turn that around this year.

Of course I would. Freezers don't fill up by themselves. Takin' does also ensures that buck doe ratio doesn't get out of whack which is helpful overall.

I don't shoot does early simply because the more I have in my area the more buck traffic I get. Nothing aganist anyone that does though that's just the way I roll.

In MD, we have to take a couple does to open up our 2nd (and final) buck tag. I try to take my does early and usually wait for the rut to fill my buck tags since my chances on a big one usually improve then. I'll take a big buck if one happens by me before the rut, but usually, I'm doe hunting the first part of the season.

I'll have 3 doe tags to fill. I won't hesitate to take one on opening day.
