I buy doe tags for those smart does. I try to get my meat first.

I don’t know if I’d call them “smart”

I had a doe tag. The problem is when the deer 15 yards from you and on alert, do you want to get busted while drawing your bow and educate her even more or risk wounding a moving deer?

I seldom will draw my bow and take a shot at deer staring right at me and on-alert, but will wait for them to put there head down or look the other direction.

For me, its enough of a challenge to make a clean, ethical archery shot on a deer that is not on-alert.

I do like to get the smart old does out of the herd when ever the opportunity presents itself. Smart does teach wariness to their clueless fawns!

Most of the above doesn’t apply when rifle hunting.

My cousin and his wife shot these two studs from the same blind within 5 minutes of one another last weekend here in Kansas. His wife is also 7 months pregnant…

RafterW wow those are a couple of studs. I would say he’s an overachiever when it comes to droptines. Congrats to both of them.

RafterW Realy nice ones!

[Ken1261]

Great deer. Process head, I hunt in S. Carolina season opened on Aug. 15th and it’s open to use rifles. Doe tag are allowed to be filled after Sept.15th.

RafterW call them the Dynamic Duo or with one in the oven maybe it should be trio. Happy for them, great looking bucks

YooperDog I had a couple more nice bucks show up in the last few days. Hopefully 1 of them will be hanging vertically in a few more days.

[bocephus]

cdavis Those are some nice bucks, good luck on picking one out. Hopefully they will not stay nocturnal.

[cdavis]

bocephus yea all night time pictures so far but they have started staying till almost daylight. So I’m hoping that 1 of them will just start staying a little bit longer. It’s still nice to know that they are in the area.

[Ken1261]

Those are some nice bucks, good luck.

cdavis Real nice!

[processhead]

cdavis you have some nice ones there. Good luck having an opportunity at one.

[bocephus]

cdavis We have a couple of nice ones showing up at night also, hoping they will come by during the day in a month and a half. We are starting to see more does during the day as temps cool.
