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 happily would, but think Im going to be in the delivery room Congrats 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

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

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.

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

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

Whats wrong with shooting one with a fawn?? They are plenty old enough to take care of themselves..
