How many doe whackers we have out there ?

[colockumelk]

The deer population seems down, I have no problem with killing antlerles but I just try to keep every doe alive for reproduction.

Same here.

I passed up a few does last year during late muzzleloader season (and a few spikes) because I know the population is lower than what it historically has been.

Should be dropping them spikes but a little small not much for the freezer on them.

YAK this is a totally serious proposition so please don't take it the wrong way.  Up in the LT Murray there is a bunch of big mature 2x2's that will never grow a third point so they will never get shot.  Instead all the normal deer that progress and grow 3rd and 4th points get killed, leaving these big mature 2x2's to do the breeding and passing on their horrible genetics. 

So could you and some of your friends go in their and weed out some of those mature 2x2's.  PLEASE.... PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE???

All I can say is I start out as a horn hunter, then I stare at the store bought crap in my freezer and proclaim...stuff needs to get stuck. One elk, and One deer does not last long in my household. So, not to dissapoint the family, its usually best if I take home something for the effort, time, and money. Last year, my buddy and I let many does walk in the early season because we seen a nice buck on the opening day..we then switched to elk, then went into late season with a pocket full of tags...I started to panic...uuh buddy..its time to pack some critters out. ..ended up getting a desent forky on the coast.

Never shot an antlerless, never will. Let the does breed and the baby bucks get some bone on thier head..

I would give up hunting before shooting a doe or even a spike for that matter.  If that is your thing have at it.  I see absolutely no challenge in it.

When I get called to hunt for a service I could help you out. I wont go out and kill them just because we want them gone I don't roll like that. I got called for a service two weeks ago I wish I would have known that, i could have helped you out.

I'd wack a doe the first legal chance I get. I got a 2nd deer tag a few years back, for a doe (whitetail) and it was one of the best hunts and incredible moments i've had hunting. Plus she tasted incredible. Nailing a deer on ground level within like 3 yards is awesome on so many levels, regardless of antler size.

Loved it.

Anytime that I can take something with my Bow, I seriously will!!!!!

We'll see after this evening hunt. Maybe I'll be able to post my final doe of the WA doe trifecta. I've already got a whitey and mulie, maybe I'll arrow a blackie this evening.

I just wish that does were off limits during the early season.  Would be nice to give the fawns a couple more months of getting their mothers milk and learning from momma.
