Big Doe

[kill shot]

How many have you heard the term "big doe"? How many times have you said it? My daughter and I listen for it in every hunting conversation were part of. I bet I have said it a million times myself. "I saw a deer, it was a doe. Big doe". "I got a deer, it was a doe. Big doe". Listen for it from now on. It will make you laugh.

I would rather have a lot of doe (dough). :-)

I actually chuckled just reading it. But around here they are "big ol' does"

[Mitch Edwards]

I call em fat girls lol. Sure hope to which a fat girl soon

Snot blowin' big ol' does!

I guess people are trying to justify killing a doe and make it sound better.

Unless its a Mule of a  deer, for me, its a good deer regardless. They all taste good.

For me this fall it was a big cow...an elk that was so tall and big in the body that I would have sworn it was a bull...yet closer examination revealed no antlers...when I am hunting by myself I look for smaller animals...easier to handle

I like big old doe's but I'd rather drag a small one unless I could get some

I don't talk about it unless back it up and this really is one, Guru shot her while hunting here in 2006.

   

Got the the hunt on video shot from a blind. Your right though, I hear the big doe thing quite often.

A big doe is larger than the norm, just like a big buck.  The fun isn't in the kill anyways, but rather the hunt, and any animal taken is a trophy to be proud of and appreciated.

k.s. trapper, WOW

[Nantahala Nut]

Haha I've told some big doe stories myself. Its the hunters version of fish tales

[drewsbow]

I've shot alot of does , some big some not so much . I like to eat

[soap creek]

That's funny. I here that phrase a lot also. I'm sure I've said it myself. I think a lot of times " a big ol Doe" may be referring to an adult doe, not a fawn or a young doe. Sounds better. Lol

I laugh more when people call fawns yearlings, but that's another topic.

We had a doe taken off our lease with bow that field dressed 193#.  Her body looked like a mature buck with a huge brisket and a big ol' roman nose.  I guess we called her a "HOG" Doe!  :-)
