Hard call Don, I enjoy thre time spent in the woods but putting my hands around a big bucks antlers early would do just fine I can kill 4 Does in my county but I only buy 1 tag anyway, just not much desire for me to kill more than 1 Doe. But I have a Fall turkey tag and can kill some yotes to if I was done with my whitetail tags.
My main goal without a doubt is to kill a 4.5 or older buck. We don't have any extra doe tags in my part of Iowa. So unless I'm on my own land I have my one and only either sex tag in my pocket and it is waiting for a big ol boy or nothin. A few years ago I started taking my personal video camera along to the woods and have found I love taping close encounters with those 130ish bucks that can be tough to pass. It's so much fun to tape them and relive the moment over and over that I no longer have any problem passing those 3.5 yr bucks. I have a blast even when I don't see a shooter, but I'm disappointed if the year goes by and no shooter bucks show up.
