Title: Been seeing lots of does.... thinking of ending season early..
Post by: Morse_FJ40 on December 04, 2012, 12:07:27 AM: I can't make up my mind. I have been seeing does and fawns just about every trip out this year... just no bucks!! I have seen 2 does in the same place the last 2 trips. Thinking up smoking one and ending my season....

Do I wait....

or put meat on the pole??

Post by: splitshot on December 05, 2012, 09:08:52 PM: i wont shoot a doe unless im certain it is barren. they are usually by themselves and are somewhat shaggy looking. these are not by the rule but it helps. i wont shoot a deer which will produce more deer. mike w

Post by: whtelk on December 06, 2012, 06:15:05 AM: I understand people that will not soot a doe but, also shooting a buck you are stopping him from breeding many does. Thus the buck is producing more deer. This was how a game biologist explained it to me one time.

Post by: ctwiggs1 on December 06, 2012, 11:25:35 AM: It wouldn't be legal if the local biologists were really concerned.

Post by: robescc on December 07, 2012, 08:50:44 PM: I ended my season tonight. I shot the biggest mulie doe out of a group of 15. I was really looking for a white tail buck but hey, the freezer will have meat in it. Sunday morning, I can take a doe on my second deer tag.
