How do you do it?

[flywise]

you sit there until your brain tells you to take this one
If you really want to shoot a doe but are worried about that shot messing up your chance at that prime time buck i can tell you that shooting that doe WILL NOT hurt an opportunity at a buck 30 min or an hour later.

Take a slick head and leave her laying the shoot a buck

Ill burn my first doe tag on the old nag that decides to stare at me and snort and blow and stomp for 5 minutes.

I don't like to shoot a doe at my feeder unless I've filled my trophy tag already. For some reason it messes up the bucks for a while. Well, at least the mature ones. But if I've determined I'm going to take a particular deer it will get the first broadside or slightly quartering away opportunity to thump it in the ribs with a sharp broadhead.

If I wouldn't pass it on the last day, I don't pass it on the first day (or any day for that matter). If I have a tag and it's a shooter, I shoot it.

How much does doe scalp make? Can't eat the horns is a bad, bad argument... Can't eat doe head either

Ever had barbacoa?

Sounds like you mean early or late in the sit not the season? So if you go in knowing you want to fill a tag that night, I'd take a doe early in the sit. If you make a great shot she might lay up and be dead and you're good to hunt the rest of the evening. If in the off chance you make a bad shot, you have plenty of daylight left to track or wait.

My biggest thing is do I really feel like having to gut this deer and quarter him/her up after this hunt? And that usually makes my decision for me lol.

I hear that! Been there done that. This looks like a good thread I'll give it a bump.

Just shoot the first mature deer that gives you a good shot opportunity.

I’m by no means a trophy hunter, I’m a meat hunter. However the lease I’m on doesn’t allow does being shot, first Buck that I see that’s within lease rules will get shot. Gotta put meat on the table no matter how big a rack is or if someone says “it could have been a good one.” Lots of guys won’t shoot a Deer because they fear what other people will say, I’ll shoot the first deer that will make me happy and get the blood flowing.
