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.



When you shoot the lead doe, who decides on which doe gets the next promotion. Is there a committee? What are deer politics like?
