Doe meat is better, no contest. In many areas of the hill country, the buck-to-doe ratio is off and there are usually an overabundance of does, which leads to more competition for resources. At our lease, we're only allowed to take one buck and two does (it's not a well-managed property), and it's the two does that I usually spend the most time hunting because I want big, mature does that carry plenty of meat on them. Every year I've been on the lease I've shot my allocation of does and I usually take 1-2 more at my friend's ranch (MLD). We eat venison at my house almost every week and sometimes multiple times a week, so we will definitely eat 3+ deer worth of meat throughout the year and usually limp into the season with a pretty depleted freezer. I do share quite a bit of venison with my neighbors and friends.

Last buck I shot was 3 yrs ago and was a nice 10 pt with a limp-if he wasn’t limping I would have let him walk. Otherwise I knock my limit of does down every year...and run out of steaks about time archery season starts up ;0)

I haven't killed a buck since 2013, try my best to shoot two Doe's each year.

We are over run with Doe's on our place in Erath County, we have a fairly large place, (2250 acres - Currently 3 hunters, supposed to be 4) essentially we can only kill 6 Doe's this year between the 3 of us, and our landowner is pretty strict about guest, so we're in a pickle to say the least.

Two Saturdays ago my son and i saw 19 Doe's between the two of us, 10 at his stand, and 9 at mine, this was at the same time!
