RE: When do you shoot or don't shoot!
 

I will always take any doe and any buck that's not a spike. I believe that taking does and leavingspikes is the best thing to do.

RE: When do you shoot or don't shoot!
 

When hunting Canada, I only shoot bucks 140"+. But then again I can only shoot bucks there. In WI I don't get to hunt until muzzleloader season and late bow season. Then I will only shoot bucks 130"+ and the first two does that come by.

RE: When do you shoot or don't shoot!
 

I will shoot a doe at every chance I have as long as I have tags and I don't already have one that needs to be dealt with and processed. I also will not shoot a doe as the chase activity rises, too much of a chance a buck being behind her.

RE: When do you shoot or don't shoot!
 

There's some truth to that. The older guys remember when deer were scarce. Things have changed a little. Still good to keep in mind especially if you aren't seeing the deer density you used to. It can be effected in a very short time.

My son and I have a mission, next season. I didn't do my part, this year.....and I regret it. We need to take some does out of the herd in a big way in '07. MY plan is to TRY and take a buck, early.......then settle in on does for the remainder of the season. I'd like to tag out....and NEED to....if we're going to do our part in herd management. I'd like for my son to shoot a few does, too (or...ANY deer he chooses).

I want to take 4(+) does out in '07.

I will shoot just about anything... as long as I have a tag for it.
