They're not going to "taste gamey" unless you drive around for hours in the heat or not gut it for a day or more, or you don't know how to handle and prepare meat. A doe is a doe is a doe. Shoot the thing and go home, or wait for a buck or another doe or whatever you're hunting.



big , small ,,,,,, it dont matter just another mouth that eats . back when we could kill two a day i would shot the older looking doe . you shot the older one out of a group you can nearly bet one of her sisters or daughter will come looking for her in just a little bit . just set still and wait

i'll add this though , you got to be carefull that first doe aint a 1 1/2 year old buck . lol
