big blue, our archery land is only bout 7 acres and all the land surrounding it is hunted. We don't shoot the does mainly because it puts an end to our hunting for that day.... we end up tracking our stinky selves through our property tracking the hit doe, then stink up our property again with a big gut pile, then we have to drag that bitch out, sweating and stinking up the area even more.... I shoulda mentioned that Im from Pennsylvania, which im pretty sure has the largest whitetail deer kill in the USA, so the does that we pass up, get shot by the rifle guys. We have 6 weeks of archery and we do shoot the occasional doe, but we shoot her early in the season just to get meat in the freezer. I don't even buy a doe license anymore, so I couldnt shoot one even If I wanted too. The first two weeks of the season I'm all for killing big fatty does, but the last 3 to 4 weeks is BUCK ONLY.
I agree, I'd never recomend shootin a deer in the neck with a bow, thats not a good shot at all.
