Would you take a doe
 

How many of you would take a doe on open day? I would so that I would have the meat .:D

RE: Would you take a doe
 

I would.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

I don't remember the last opener that I didn't kill a doe:Dlast 2 years I killed ever doe I saw.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

Doe is good. And yesi would.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

Fill the freezer then hunt for the big one!!

RE: Would you take a doe
 

Planning on it. In fact, I can't wait.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

Yes. I have only a few packages of meat left. I can't wait to see a fat old gal. Never thought I'd say that.:D

RE: Would you take a doe
 

I try and wait until it cools off before shooting one but this year I may be taking one earlier than expected.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

NO

Her in Mo you can shoot all the does you want as long as you buy extra tags. I would shoot one and will if she walks under the stand in 10 days.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

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.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

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.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

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

RE: Would you take a doe
 

yep need 3 deer to get me thru the winter

RE: Would you take a doe
 

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.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

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.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

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.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

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.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

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.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

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

RE: Would you take a doe
 

I would. Can't think of a better way to start the season then to gut a deer on opening day. That is unless there are some nice bucks roaming around. Then I might wait until later in the season. But I'm so pumped on opening day that a doe is right up my alley.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

Yup I'd shoot her.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

Definetly, It helps get the edge off, and settle the nerves by getting that first one of the season on the ground. Plus usually by the time the season comes around im fresh out of meat so i need a quick fix. Ive never been afraid to take a doe, cant eat the horns.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

Yep, sure would. We can get up to 5 deer this year in my area, only one of those can be a buck. Went all last year without any venison in the freezer. Them doe tags dont taste very good.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

I DONT PLAN ON SEEING A BUCK UNTIL THE RUT GETS CLOSER

RE: Would you take a doe
 

yep, would not hesitate a minute

RE: Would you take a doe
 

I just picked up 10 damage tags in a residence with deer damage. I plan on shooting 10 deer. So yes, I will drop a doe without question.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

I will shoot a mature doe if she gives me the chance. This may sound crazy, but sometimes I think older mature does are harder to shoot than some bucks I have seen.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

[/align]NO I WOULDN'T, WELL HERE IN MEXICO, CAUSE THERE'S A BUNCH OF "OUT OF SEASON HUNTERS" AND THE BUCKS AND DOES ARE COUNTED ON PRIVATE PROPERTYS CAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN RESPECT THE PRIVATE RANCHES[:@], JUST A FEW OF PEOPLE LIKE ME AND SOME GROUPS GET TO BUY THE TAGS AND TO PAY THE HUNTING FEES.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

Yes, Ihunt a managed land and we are encouraged to take does. Hopefully
I will get one early then get after the big buck during the rut.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

Oh yes I would. Ilike to take a doe before anything else.Always helps me to get the jitters out I get every year when bow season rolls around.I shake as bad on my first doe as I do on a huge buck.After taking a doe though I relax and dont havea problem as bad on a doe or a buck.But I still do shake some on every deer I arrow.Knees weak and the flood of emotions after I make a good shot is something to live for.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

In a heartbeat. It would be my first bow deer and I would be very proud of it. Not to mention the fact that doe meat is much more tender and tastes better! :eek:

RE: Would you take a doe
 

Yep

RE: Would you take a doe
 

Absolutely. I have taken a doe in the first one ortwo days the past three years. The doe always fill up the freezer quite well.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

opening morning ? usually i would but the set up i'm going to be on this year is way too hot of a spot, that doe might be needed to bring this bad boy in.... and it's too far of a hikefor me to risk it all taking a doe opening morning, but Lord have mercy ona doe thatcomes in on the last day of the hunt...i am a true believer of the 50/50 management, for every buck taken, take a doe......over the last several years i have seen the results , so i'll definately take one for meat God willing...

RE: Would you take a doe
 

Absolutely, without a doubt.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

I would , I don't get mounts .

RE: Would you take a doe
 

Here in Jersey, we cant shoot a buck until we shoot a doe, so i have no choice in the matter.

RE: Would you take a doe
 

If its brown its down! I would definitely shot a doe on the first day!

RE: Would you take a doe
 

Sure! Why not? Get the does out of the way so you can chase the big boy.

Besides, its mandatory to shoot a doe before a buck where I hunt.... (earn-a-buck).

Venison is venison, and its great to even out the herd.:)
