MuleyMadness Hunting Forums

I may come to that someday. I'm in the mountains 300 days a year, hiking, hunting, scouting, and fly fishing. Maybe I should add taking pictures too.

Trust me. I only hunted for bucks for decades, and i'd still prefer it. It was no big deal if I couldn't hunt for a buck in the past, because I always had elk to hunt. Now that i'm down to just deer hunting i've had to give in to hunting for a doe. I try to make it as much of a challenge as possible...

I'll have to agree to disagree. :) There are VERY few doe tags even offered in our state anymore. There is a couple of areas where I will agree with your statement, meaning taking some does in these areas for herd control is a good idea and beneficial.

Maybe this would be a better question.

Do you just hunt for bucks, and why?

1. You're strictly a trophy hunter.

2. You think it's better for the herd.

3. You think the meat taste better. ( )

4. More challenge.

5. Doe hunting is for kids.

6. I love the taste of antlers.

So, if you don't hunt does, because you think you're helping the herd. You need a better reason.

There was a time in my life that I hunted for nothing but bucks and bulls. I've been hunting every year since the early 50's, so I guess you can say i'm old school. That's how we thought back then. Things have changed though. For one i'm an old fart now, and don't camp anymore. So, i'm lucky enough ...

How are they endangered when we have Alaska?

I still hunt all day into their bedding areas. What the moon does, or when they feed doesn't mean much to my method of hunting.

Yes, you drew with a 500 number.

Good to see you back again. I couldn't get anywhere. It wanted me to login, but when I tried it wouldn't accept it.
