Are you killing does any more, or just bucks? Wondering what others' opinion is on that. Are you even hunting any longer?

I can count on traffic to thin our does. I live on a rural county road but the 1/2 mile stretch by my house is the only straightaway for miles. Everyone thinks they are required to go 70 mph when they hit the straight.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

I don’t shoot does this time of year, we don’t have many where I hunt anyway. If I shoot one it’s early in the season or if I get invited to someone’s place and they want some killed.

Ruts not over where I hunt. But I’ve already killed a big buck. I just don’t have the same drive to “hunt hard” I’m going to camp this weekend, but I’m really just going to hang out. I’ll probably do most of the cooking and what not this weekend and just hunt close to the camp and let the other guys go wherever they want. I really want my dad to kill a buck. He has never killed one. He’s only been hunting for 5 years.

Doesn’t matter if you shoot them before they are bred or after, they aint having babies We cut doe killing off before the rut kicks in. I agreed that either way they won't be reproducing but why let a buck run hisself down breeding her to kill her later. Been doing it that way 20 years

Killed a decent 8 before christmas and got 2 does for the freezer. So unless it's going on the wall or the kids want to take their first deer I will be just watching and seeing what's left for next season. Plus doing some scouting for some long beards on a buddy's place.

Been doing it that way 20 years This is a good point I had not thought of before I read your comment. I was strictly thiking about 'why kill a doe if she's bred and eliminate good fawn recruitment?'

Nope. No season for does here now. Just two 10 day or so seasons all year, Zone C.
None of us shoot them. We remember 15 years ago when you could hardly buy a deer sighting. We have a low deer density but real good genetics and a balanced herd. We see as many bucks as does for sure.
My buddies like to go south this time of year. One of my neighboring land owners that we hunt together just shot a stud in South Bama. It is on down there, dead up here.

I kill em whenever I want to. No thought needed any further than that Same. If I want to shoot something, I shoot. I don't shoot them now where I hunt, though, because we don't have many.

Been over almost a month and I need some meat for jerky so going to shoot a doe since the bucks didn’t cooperate. We eat about 3 deer a year so if I don’t kill any or just 1 buck I will shoot a doe or two late season.
