    I normally pass on does. But, my stepson is coming up for the weekend and his family likes venison. So if a nice doe or one of my target bucks gives me the right shot I'll be trying to put one in his freezer.
    I may be opinionated...but, my opinion is the only one that matters anyway.

    I have been able to count on my oldest two sons for taking does until this year. One is away at college and the other will not have much time to hunt this year. We have a couple of families that appreciate a venison donation every year so I plan to shoot a couple of mature does. It is good practice, good experience, and I have too many on my property. I ususally reserve doe killing for the weekends though as it can be cause for some late nights during the work week.

    I have been debating this question in my head all week. One of the stands I plan to hunt opening weekend has several nice bucks in the area, but I would really like to put some meat in the freezer. How much damage do you guys think it does to a stand as far as hunting educated bucks if you kill a doe or two in that spot?

    Be nice to get 1 of each on opening day! However, if 1 of the 3 bucks I'm waiting for show up, I'll take him but if a doe shows up first, I'm filling the freezer. My arrows are gonna fly this year. Waiting and passing on does has almost burned me the last 2 seasons.
    If I'm Not Out Hunting, I'm Thinking About It!

    As long as you dont bump them, they dont smell you, they dont see you, you should be good. Got to kill the does to get the buck to doe ratio so the big boys get up in daylight hours!

    I want to get meat in the freezer. I'm hunting a population control program through October that requires you to take a doe before you can take a buck. My trips down to the Wayne will be more concentrated on horns, although I still prefer to get meat in the freezer.
