I have to ask, Why would you not shoot doe?
Guys who only shoot bucks are hurting their herd.
Guys I'm all for taking does.....if it's needed. But in some herds (Rob/PA's for example)....it isn't needed. I don't blame him for NOT shooting does. He'd only be hurting his herd if he DID take does.
Oh.. I canunderstand that. However, where I hunt it's a4 to 1 ratio, so I'm always thinking there are too many does. I guess my perspective was a bit jaded.

probably take about 30 of them to march by my stand....my areas i hunt alot here at school and at home are both lacking in the numbers department....i know this...i wont take a deer in most of my areas at home and my SGLs here at school i hunt...there are certain areas at home i will take a doe but generally only flintlock hunt those areas(only got permission to hunt after rifle season) trying to gain access on private lands here at school....depending on where i might get permission, i may or may not have a tag for them...

That's how I feel about the herd at our cabin land if we take more does than bucks,my pulse on theherd there is that the ratio is just about right. MY feelings last year were that we needed take a doe for every buck we took. ( we took two doe and three bucks) I feel the same this year about that land. The other properties that I hunt, could stand to lose a doe. I have applied for two doe tags in my WMU and one in twildasin's. He has a ton down there. All that mumbo jumbo said, I will draw on does as long as Rob has the record button hit. Or the first one that I see down at TIm's.

i shoot them whenever I get the chance early season during the rut just looking for a buck and usually my doe tag is filled by then anyway.
