It seems there is always some debate on whether or not to shoot a doe, and even a certain stigma if you do. I live where there are a ton of WT does, and have even had my crosshairs on one a few days ago, but I let it walk.

I am 100% out there for meat, and have to wonder if my “no women, no kids” mentality is the best way forward? They are open because the WT population is stressing the native mule deer population. I have seen a 10-1 ratio of WT over MD. This is even at altitudes where I have never seen WTs before. The WTs are apparently much more adaptable and are pushing the MDs into ever smaller pockets.

Thoughts? Do I picture a nasty ex gf on the does face and squeeze, or do I follow Leon’s mantra?
