In the big picture of whitetail deer management, you are not accomplishing much other than making yourself feel good about letting the bred doe walk. Maybe where you live with alot of deer, but up here in northern Maine with fewer deer we need more does in the big woods.That bred doe is going to have 1 to 2 little ones if she survives the winter.Chances of her being shot are very slim as they only give out around 10 total doe tags here in zone 11 last I knew.Alot of years there are no doe tags given out here. It’s the same story here in Saskatchewan. Yes, we have some enormous bucks but, lots of deer we do not. Winter devastates the herd some years. I love antlers so will hold out until the bitter end of necessary before I kill something. I’ll enjoy the jerky I make from any deer, but I’ll enjoy it even more if I can occasionally admire its antlers in my basement. The good cuts come from moose in our house anyway. To each their own though.
