As a man who just wacked a youth aged buck I can verify that nearly every cut of meat is at the level of tenderness that an elk backstrap would be if not more tender. I freaking love the does/younger deer here in Idaho.

I can tell you, in Pennsylvania, the general consensus is killing does takes 2 deer out of "next year's herd". The most common phrase I hear is "there aren't any deer left". Hunters also believe that more does brings in more bucks. It's painful to have a conversation about it.

My understanding is that a yearling is aproximately 1.5 years old and a fawn is around 6 months. I've seen a few spotted fawns in October. One was tiny.

@Steve-ev6vx 10 ай бұрын

Yes, thats correct. In North Florida and Southwest Alabama our fawns usually weigh about 30-40 pounds during the fall and winter. Every now and then we will see a 20 pounder that still has fading spots during the fall. It's illegal here to kill one with spots, but as soon as they are solid brown they are a legal anterless deer.

@@jaredpeterson380 Somebody probably shot the doe. They do just fine as long as they are out of spots and there aren't a bunch of predators around. I have shot a doe in early season and watched her fawn(s) keep coming back to the food plot all fall/winter many times. We get to hunt until March 1st so you get to watch them all the way through to spring.

I would love to hear an episode about aging dear meat

@danorris5235 10 ай бұрын

It's a really touchy subject in some parts of the country. Around me tons of people think that hanging a deer out for a few days is aging meat (it's not), that having a crust on the outside of the meat means it's aging (it doesn't), and that you have to age venison before use or it's inedible (wildly untrue). Food riles people up, and very little discussion can be had on the issue without someone running around with hurt feelings and trash talking each other. Maybe this show could do it, though.

I used to shoot around 80lbs hunting but injuries have turned it down to around 58 but I’m still shooting my old matthews LX at 31 inches and 307 so I’m good I believe. I’ve killed em at 70 yards with that set up and like Levi said they don’t react much at that distance but I never aim at the belly line anymore at all period I’m up in the deer at least a couple inches to make sure I at least hit heart if they don’t react.

I think every whiteail hunter should have to harvest 2 does before they can get a buck tag. And buttons don't count as antlerless. If you take a button, you can't apply for the buck tag. It is common sense if you want big bucks, you have to thin the does.

Two seasons ago all I seen was bucks so I made the assumption that there were too many bucks around, especially on my property. I seen a mature doe, shot her and it wasn’t a her, it was a spike that was looking away and his spikes were covered by his ears. This last year I seen 2 cow horns, 2 doe with a 4 point and a 5 point that I thought was a 6 point. I took the 5 point and a cow horn that walked out right after the 4 point with the 2 doe. Didn’t take a single doe.

Fwiw about not shooting does because a buck might be right behind her, last year gun season, I shot a doe with a .458 socom at maybe 30y. 30 seconds later, an 8-pt buck followed her same trail right past me, and I shot him too. It was actually easier to ahoot him because he was concentrating on the doe trail and not looking around much.

The perception of the 6.5 creed is the biggest crime in modern hunting. It is not an elk gun period. Target bullets are not hunting bullets no matter what Hornady or any of the others put on the box. We already had the .260 Rem that shot real hunting bullets. I don't get it. The only good thing about the 6.5 CM trend is that people are ditching the .243 for it, HALLELUJAH! The .243 Win is the biggest crime in the history of deer hunting. It is a varmint rifle and only good for deer if you know what you are doing. I guarantee you that cartridge has lost more deer than any and it is not even close. In 30 years of deer hunting, I have never seen a single deer recovered that ran off after being shot with a .243! If you can't get an exit wound it is a fail. With the fake hunting bullets most shoot out of the 6.5 exits are still not as common, but there is enough energy dumped to keep them from running as far.
