    How do most of you approach this subject.

    Do you manage all hunting season, early season or late season?

    Would you shoot a doe on opening day?

    All season long for me, with the exception of pre-rut and rut and yes, I'll shoot them on opening day. I shot two within 5 minutes of each other last year on opening day. My home hunting property is over-run with does.

    I'm over looking for a trophy.

    The only reason I won't shoot an antlerless deer this year is if it has spots....and then only if it doesn't hang arond to long.

    I will be taking out as many of those as I can this season. If its 10 so be it. We have so many our bucks don't have to go 40yd to find it any more. They are every where here.

    Oh and yes all season long. Opening day I will probably take one out. It will be my first bow harvest. Got to get the first one out of the way as fast as I can you know.
