Thanks! I suppose everyone wants to show off a nice head on their hunting video… The reality is plenty of female numbers are shot in the doe season, I’ll be back on them this Autumn. I definitely shoot more Does than Bucks. Land access is the biggest issue, too few shooters have too much land and not doing enough to control the numbers.
