I have killed 4 or 5 doe's in the last 9 years here in MO.

Heck, from a meat standpoint a yearling doe is as good as it gets.

No hernia

Easy skinning

Easy to hunt, sometimes you have to shoo dim away

Best meat

I really only will shoot one with my bow early season...have killed 4 in my life...

I dont hunt em, I just feed em

Apparently not hard enough.

I hunt them hard when I want to kill one. Same way I would a buck. But it usually only takes a hunt or 2 to get a doe

Been several several hunts I'd kill 5-6 in an afternoon sit. On DMAP program of course

Good googly moogly, you must hunt in a part of the state with alot of dang deer....where is that exactly?

This time of year, this year especially, a mature doe is the hardest deer in the woods to kill. They've had the whole season to pattern us and are not rut crazy like the bucks. I'm seeing 5 bucks right now for every doe. I'll shoot another doe or so before the end of the season for some meat and a whopper buck if I see him to donate to the needy. I have no interest in eating a rutting buck when I can get a doe instead.

Where I hunt, the does in particular haven't been moving as much as normal. I don't know if it is the weather, banner mast crop (I watched some still eating acorns the other day), or both, but the sightings have not been prevalent. Now if I were a number of other hunters, I would scream that we killed too many does and they are not there anymore. I've hunted this property for too many years though to believe that. I know if I want to see a doe right now, I need to get off the plots. The bucks are roaming so I'm seeing plenty of them, but in about a week they will be locked up with the does so I'll have to find the does to find the bucks.

I'm huntin in New Hope...yeah that's where I'm huntin...

I only shoot does in places where i can drive the truck up to them and throw them in the back. I never hunt for does, but will shoot a couple each year for meat. All just depends on where I’m hunting, what I’m seeing, and what time of year it is.

If you’re in Unit C, there’s not a shucks ton of opportunites to shoot does with a gun.
We had a week of either sex hunting at Thanksgiving and week between Christmas and New Years. Add in a little bad weather, some work and it dwindles fast.
I’m not really complaining though. I hadn’t much been in the mood to shoot a doe this year.
You do need to kill a deer now and again though to consider yourself a deer hunter.

I try to kill 5 does and a couple mature bucks a year and that’s enough to feed my family and my grandparents for the year.

On my hunting clubs I kill a couple with my bow but not with a rifle.

On my land at home I put the old smoke pole to work to make up the difference although I wouldn’t call walking to the edge of a patch at 4:00 and shooting a doe out of the field hunting. Lol. The land around my house is pine trees and sandy soil with good deer numbers but not much quality. Therefore it’s where the meat gathering takes place.

^^^Just to be clear before the game wardens show up that is 4:00 pm not am. Lol^^^

I havn't shot one in over 8 years and don't want to.

I hunt hard for does. Not to shoot them though. Eventually they bring th big boys out of their hole.

I only have one rule for shooting does.

Retrevial must be possible with an ATV or truck.

There’s too many of them to have to drag one.

Several places I hunt, I’d bet my paycheck that I could kill a doe on any given day.

Not hard at all, they're everywhere. You could shoot them blindfolded where I hunt.

I'm about to go HAM on some does trying to get one with my bow from the ground. Had an ole smart heifer ruin my chance opening weekend at one, I'd really like it if I can stick her and end her stupid little intelligent butt. So I guess it depends on the situation. Never hunted hard for does until now

They give me back my two a day I wouldn't to hunt as hard lol
