I know some who say "doe" for plural female deer

I've known one guy who would say it that way. It annoyed me.

 :yeah:  It drives me nuts, my #1 hunting pet peeve.  Multiple BUCKS, Multiple DOES, Multiple DEER

I like to say "deers" if there are more than one.

I always attempt to number multiple does

"got 3-4 does up there, maybe another one up behind that big rock"

"don't see any horn, I'm gonna watch them ahwile see if a buck shows"

I say doe.  As in "That farm has a lot of doe on it, but no buck." 
I also say "There's quite a few buck roaming around that hollow"

For elk would you say, "Saw some cow but no bull"?

I think one must address an important variable that hasn't been brought up when discussing this most serious matter...am I actually hunting or am I drunk in the mountains? One must first establish the level of inebriation the person in such a scenario is exoeriencing before making a decision on what is appropriate. I've been known to take my bow for long drunk walks before when the animals are scarce

In my case, hunting and drunk in the mountains are the same thing.

That sounds just like the guy I used to know. "We saw 23 doe in the clearcut."    :bash:

I thought we were talking about deer. 

I just don't talk about elks at all.

People who get this wrong then say they hope you catch one.
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

 :yeah:  How was your bear trip? Did you catch any? Yep, chased them down, put them in a head lock until they said uncle. Slapped them on the butt and sent them on their way. Love catching bear.

It is a blast isn't it?

My favorite! I actually dang near stepped on one last fall that was sitting in some chest high blue berry bushes I was walking through. He stood up less than 6 feet from me. Shooting never crossed my mind, but I believe both of us set new land speed records going opposite directions. It was pretty humorous, a few minutes later.
