The doe to buck ratio here is about 4 to 1 so I'm already more likely to get a doe. It wouldnt change a thing. Deer meat is deer meat.

Sorry to disagree with the mass but it would be the end for me. I have not hunted does for 34 years now and I'm not about to start. I have hunted horns almost my whole hunting career with bow and rifle. I have passed up many smaller bucks only to go without getting any at all. I would possibly take up camera hunting because as you can see for me it is not just for the meat or the kill. I have took many, many pictures while hunting but I am the only one that can see them, for I used no camera, I only have memories. I also want to say, that there is absolutly nothing wrong about hunting does, it's just not my cup of tea.

Definetly ! I would hunt regardless I'm into hunting for the sport not just for a set of horns.

I may still hunt a few years but would most likely find something to shoot. Its a chalange to take a buck, and one that has a nice rack. It would not be the same for sure.

Hunting Does only wouldn't hurt my feelings at all. I only manage to see does anyway, I've been hunting for 6 years and have yet to see a buck from my stand. I see bucks while driving into my stand, I see them walking out, I see them on the way to our camp site, I see them on the highway going to our spot, but never while I'm hunting.

Wouldn't have much a of a problem w/ just hunting does. I've only taken three bucks in my life anyway. The only problem would be not being able to "Go" for that big trophy buck...but it would save me quite a bit of money. Interesting question...I know that some folks out there have seasons split up by a "Doe Only" sessions. That would be hard to lay off a big buck that walked by.

Now I would have to say that I am a fairly die hard buck huntin' fool but if I could no longer kill bucks, I'm sure I would continue to hunt and would likely photograph as much as hunt. Being in the woods 20ft up a tree is just cool in itself...deer hunting is just a great excuse to do it. It's about time you came up with a good post silent! Good topic!
