If i had a good rest, a sturdy branch or some shooting sticks or something, boom. For a gun of that caliber, with good shooting basics and consistent practice, you can't say no.

Your a tool if you don't kill does! I would aim at the top of the back and let her rip, she would be down!

No.. i never kill does.. and a doe thats at 300 yards and your gun is sighted in at 200.. you're gonna drop a good4 inches in that extra 100 yards.. leave her alone..

with that caliber dialed in at 200 yards, with a 150 grain bullet it is going to drop a little less than 7 inches. I have ballistics to back it up. Im shooting, thats why people buy a 7mm for those shots.

Most professional wildlife managers encourage hunters to havest does as the way to manage a population. Taking only bucks has little impact on long-term management goals. Overall population health and management is in everyone's interest, especially hunters. And, you can't tell the differenceonce it's in the freezer. Unless of course all you're interested in is the antlers, which don't taste too good.

My area is so over hunted that does are smeered all throughout deer season, so I dont feel the need to massacre fawns and does. I already see way to many killed. If you dont like my hunting style take a trip up here some year and see all the fools that come out of the woods with fawns and 70 pound does. It will make you sick.
