he's waiting because incase he sees a buck..sometimes if you shoot a doe, you miss a chance on a buck. if that makes sense to you.

and its "lucky" in gun season..if you have a buck patterned, and then you put 10 guys in your woods, ya think that buck is gonna be patternable in gun season? i think not. its skillfully lucky to get a buck in gun season some times. dont act like its not. if its all about the kill count, im not sure what to tell you, but if we all used better judgement we might gain more in the long run.....

tull 66,I've killed more deer than most guys on this site I'm not bragging,just plain fact.I've pasted small 8's and other bucks in other states,small doe's, big doe's and buttons in 4 states that I've hunted.I enjoy deer meat and have butcherd my own deer for 35 years,if I don't kill a buck in archery season,I gun hunt and gun hunting is more luck than skill,with that many people in the woods anybody can get a buck( with some luck)although you can improve your luck knowing the better excape trails. I'm not going to shoot a doe early in gun season,that takes me out of the woods and a day or two to butcher my deer.There is more than enough time to shoot doe's (to much in my opinon).And at this stage of my life small buck doesn't turn me on,I've killed piles of W.V. small bucks,N.Y. and Pa bucks,in my day they where all fun to shoot,but now we all want the bigger bucks,and a couple of doe's for the table is better than shooting some scrub 8 pt,there's a young that never got a buck,or maybe some not so young hunter that would be very happy with it.
