    Not at all i love shooting doe they taste better, i cant eat antlers last year i dropped 4 back to back. It was the craziest **** ever. The just kept walking back in and i was trying to get out of the stand so i just kept dropping them. We do a program called hunting for the hungry so nothing goes to waste round hya

    Meat is meat to an point. I don't harvest young does but a big healthy doe is great for the freezer

    There's a "feeling" I get with every animal I kill. Not sure what too call "it" but give a thanks a fast killing shot and then the best.... MOST thankful while I'm eating it!!
    Does are great for confidence and freezers!

    I call that feeling the reflection. Its when I can honor the animal the most with sense of achieve of a quick kill shot so they dont suffer along with the improvement of my confidence and hunting skills to be able to feed my family if all else fails. I love that feeling. Glad im not the only one because when you lose that feeling its time to stop hunting.

    Proper deer management includes taking does.

    Early season I won't shoot a doe due to fawns...spots are gone, fair game for mama.

    A big fatty filling the freezer, you'll never know the difference.
