RE: Does anyone NOT shoot doe...
I attempt to shoot does early & often. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it takes me all of our seasons to get the does I want. sometimes I can do it all with my bow. I still hunt areas with more deer than there should be so I have no problems trying to take as many as I can.
I have a few spots that I won't shoot does in, which are generally ones I don't venture into until later october anyways. I probably spend 85% of my time hunting does.

We are allowed 3 in our state and I try to get 1 with bow, 1 with muzzleloader, then I save one for the late season whether it be bow or muzzleloader or rifle. Also we are allowed 3 bucks, so during the rut I will pass does...

I never shoot does in my whitetail hunting areas.
1. I can only get 2 deer tags per season in myNorthern Idaho units.
2. The predators keep the whitetail populations curtailed in the mountains. Deer populations are nothing like whatmany of you experience in areas of very little predators. Tough winters/hvy snowstake their toll too.
3. We have the luxury of filling the freezer with elk meat.
