So do you shoot a doe this weekend or keep them around?

Since my land is on the wrong side of the county the state says I need to be on MLD to shoot does in regular season so the does get whacked during archery season. Apparently we don't have the deer density but it's common to see 10-20 on a sit.

There are so many does. I usually shoot one if they present an easy shot to fill the freezer and take the meat pressure off. Plus a perfect test for when that buck comes around.

We got 3 fawns that I know of that are still heavily covered in spots. My prime stand I didn't hunt this morning due to rain but I have a doe and fawn there everyday but the fawn is covered in spots so mom gets a pass.

This. I shot a doe that had a fawn once. Last time I do that.

Made that mistake once also. Doe came out quick and I shot her quick. Few minutes later baby came out and stood by mom. I had to run it off to get the doe. I will try to never make that mistake again

Does - before the rut
Big bucks - your call but I would wait till after the rut so they can pass on their genes.
Cull bucks - anytime

We usually wait until late season, we have plenty so no big deal, besides that I don't want to have to quarter up and put on ice, I like for the carcass to hang a few days before processing.

Really just depends on the situation and if the freezer is getting low. This year going to use the does as buck bait until doe days.

I have 1 older doe that I will take anytime I get the chance, but all other does will most likely get a pass the whole season. Not a managed lease, so I try to let the meat hunters shoot the does in hopes they leave the bucks alone.

I shoot them but we have a lot

We have several does on our place. Its nice to have something to watch, but we usually dont see any bucks until rut anyway so we try to hold off on shooting does. Walker county allows does to be killed until thanksgiving (at least they did last year). So theres time for meat

Not shooting a doe yet. He could be 30 yards away.
