Netzapper....... I guess I didn't actually say it, but I do shoot does. In about
23 years of hunting, I think I've shot 5 bucks. I've killed deer every year though, so I've shot alot of does. Its not for lack of bucks, its just that I hunt the first few days for a BIG buck, and when I dont see one I shoot a doe.

I hunt for the "stalk" more than anything. It's wide open here so we do alot of spot and stalk. I love sneaking up on a deer, consider it a kill, then go find another and do it again. Usually shoot a doe at the end.

I not trying to get everyone to be a trophy hunter, I just dont see why everyone would rather shoot a little buck instead of letting him grow. Shoot a doe instead.

THANKS everybody, I enjoy all the reading.
