Hunting doe is EASY. Finding them and killing them is the hard part.

Fooling, getting drawn on, and killing a Mature Doe is every bit as hard or harder than killing a Mature Buck.

AMEN BROTHER! Who do you think taught that buck everything he knows? His Momma, of course!

Got me a real mature alpha doe last weekend. I had been hunting her for 3 years, and felt pretty slick for finally getting her. She knew where all my stands were, even if they had not been active for a year. Any place I had ever sat she would circle and look at, even if it had been a long time. Last year I put up a new stand just for her, and never sat in it untill last weekend. She went to circle on of my old stands and walked right under me at 10 yards, looking the wrong direction. Hammer time. It wasn't a bow, but my .50 cal caplock with a round ball and iron sights. It was still way cool.

Does can be super easy, or they can be a PITA, just depends.

Anyone who thinks does are easy to hunt has probably never tried hunting them. Anymore I'll shoot a buck if it crosses my path, but when I want a challenge I go doe hunting. Defeating all those eyes, ears, and noses is the most challenging thing I've ever done while hunting.
I know that first hand. If any of you've seen my post, you know I recentlylost to 6 eyes and a real smart doe at the head of the pack that kept circling my stand in both CW and CCW directions.

By comparison, the 200lb 7-pointer I took last year was careless and even looked at me when I drew then paused and waited for my arrow to arrive.
