Some have stated that their preferred buck to harvest is an old buck. When selecting a doe, does the same criteria apply? Typically for me its been if she has young deer with her.

Young doe or oldest possible. I do not want to shoot one who had fawns the year I shoot her as she will likely have more next yr. If one comes out with a group who seems to have 0 to do with the young ones she wins the bullet

A doe is a doe. If a wad of them walk out I generally pick the largest one but it really doesn’t matter.

I pick the one that looks the mostly likely to stand in the woods and blow for 30 minutes.

I pick the ones that are the easiest to get to and load up.

Just like when I was single, I usually pick the one that gives me the best shot to take her home.

It depends on what your management objective is. If you are trying to decrease the herd, which is a situation we have been in in the past, you want to shoot the young ones because over their lifespan they will produce more offspring and eat up more food (as will their offspring) than an older doe.

If you would like more deer, shoot the oldest doe because they are closer to being barren, if not already, and therefore not contributing anything to the population. In fact all they do is eat up food that could be feeding younger deer.

If you are content with where your objectives are, like we are now pretty much, shoot the one that looks the tastiest. In other words, the one most likely to drop in its tracks and not taint the meat from lactic acid from an adrenalin rush and running off.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I go for the singles. If she's got a baby she's off limits.

Jawbone at what age do they become barren? I would think that most does die well before this happens.
We were talking about this the other day and my thoughts were, other than the meat factor, the best doe to shoot would be a young one since it will be a while before she produces where an older doe may already be carrying a young buck.

I wish I could ride you around in the truck to say this to people all day long. I have hunted two places that wanted to fine you for killing a doe under 100 or 120lbs. I argued until I was red in the face that if you are killing a doe what difference does it make! Obviously I want to kill a bigger one if I can because i get more meat, but getting out a $100 when I roll up with a 95 lber was ludicrous. I dont hunt at either one of those places anymore.

The first one that presents a good shot opportunity and will have easy access for an atv/utv. I hate dragging a doe.
