WHY SHOOT A DOE ?????
« on: October 05, 2010, 08:18:00 PM »
...because I think a old mature doe with years behind it is one of the toughest deer to kill ..She's way smarter that any buck...and is a true trophy to take with trad equipment (or any gear) ...HUNT DOE'S  


Plus .. antlers are only good to stir the soup !!!

Because several places where I hunt have habitat damage from too many deer.  

Overbrowsing is a real problem on my mothers property.  

Killing doe's does way more for controling the deer population than killing a buck.

Big does are smart.  If she has two fawns with her come hunting season, she is likely at least two and half years old. So she had to be smart enough to keep herself alive for at least a year and half to be bred once. Six more months of avoiding predators, bows, and guns in order to give birth. And then 6 months of not only looking out for her own hide, but also that of her fawns.  I think we've all been busted by many more does than bucks.

Because it is DEER season, not just BUCK season with a bow...
If I had a 10pt buck, and a fat doe, both at 10 yards broadside..I'd take the doe.
I am not hunting to prove anything, as if killing a horned deer proves anything, I love to hunt, and I love to eat venison...
and the doe eats so much better...

YOU are all lucky , the government in Mexico thinks that if we don't kill does we will have more bucks, we have 8 to 1 ratio on does per buck and that is a lot

we don't have doe permits and we do have bucks

they think they are smart

I find the meat from a DOE is way better in taste then a buck. Also it is best to help keep a deer herd Healthier by taking out a few of the Old DOEs.

You must shoot them to go with the onions and garlic that are fry'n in the cast iron skillet. Or to keep the veggies company that are on the kabobs on the grill.   :goldtooth:
