Can't afford to on our Oklahoma place. Buck to doe ratio is too high. Have sights set on a couple big, mature deer and 2-3 cull bucks. Nothing wrong with shooting a doe on opening morning. If it puts a smile on your face and fills the freezer, best of luck to you!

If one gives me a perfect shot, I'll take it. I usually have a shot at a doe almost every weekend so I like to pick a mature doe and a perfect shot before I tap the release.

Depends on the size of the doe. A real young skinny one, might pass it up.

I will because it will be my first animal with a bow! I've been working my a$$ off this year in order to kill one. Lets just hope it all works out

Congrats up

My opening weekend will be in Kansas. Don't think that I will be shooting a doe unless I get trigger happy and just can't resist...so I might shoot one. Depends on cameras, activity, wind, etc...who knows. I am just ready to hunt banana

Not sure yet. I sure don't need any more meat in my freezer, I still have quite a bit from last year.

I will as long as she doesn't have fawns with her. I will never make that mistake again.

I don't shoot does where I hunt. Population is too low.

Last year at my place the other hunters said the bucks disappear after archery season. I'm gonna try for a buck first then a buck or a doe. Either way it would be my first, I'm a late starter.


Adult late onset hunter. Why did I wait so long to get started?

Nope. Not that I have anything against that. But opening day I will be fishing and I can take guests to the lease. I have a crossbow ready for my nephew and my sons to take does with if they find the time. If not I will take them later in the season. We need to thin a few on our place.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

Any deer you kill with a bow is an accomplishment in my opinion. Save the hide for various projects.

Our fawns usually fall late, almost all of them still have spots and are nursing in beginning of bow season. Last year I let them walk because of that...forgot about that.
