How important is doe hunting
 

To you on a personal level?
NOT from a management standpoint we all know that answer.


Where do you fall?
A deer is a deer, buck/doe all the same to me.
Why shoot a doe, can’t be any fun in it
They are my main focus, pile them up and fire up the grille.
I’ll hunt them if there is nothing better to do
Our state’s population isn’t conducive to shooting does.

Honestly, I spend WAY more time focused on shooting does than I do bucks. It’s a huge part of my bowhunting entertainment value. Don’t get me wrong, I bust my behind to get a buck too, but does are really my staple. Then add that this season we gained an additional 6 weeks or so of doe only bowhunting, so you can see why its such a great way to stay out in the woods and on stand.

Rates right up there with flossing my neighbors cats teeth.:D

Last time I felt the need to kill one I was in school and I was hungry.[:o]

I still get excited when I shot a doe. Probably not the same level of excitement if I was shooting at a buck (still don't know what that feels like with a bow[&o]). I like shooting doe and even having them walk by me in the stand even when I know I am not going to shoot them.

The last few years I have tried to shoot older does, I have been picked off by 0 bucks. I have had older does come look for me in trees[:@]

I challenge those who think it is easy, to try and shoot an alpha doe. I final got one after she seen me 3 times.[:@]

I go hunting with the intention of shooting deer. Usually I am buck hunting, but I enjoy shooting does too. I agree with others, if shooting does was easy, there wouldn't be very many around here.:D

I think it is very imprortant, to me.

That old girl is dead, and it was my fault I moved.Every time she came by she would look for me[:@]
She's in the freezer now;) I have seen 30 deer from that stand, and she picked me off. It was my fault.

I love hunting for does. A deer is a deer in my book! I get the same emotions shooting a nice big buck as i do when i shoot a plump old doe! Im in it for the hunt not the bone. Havnt found a recipe i like for them antlers yet!;)
