Opening morning of rifle season, I saw 6 does and 3 bucks.
(I may have seen one other buck, or it was the same one twice) 2 of the does were mature, but decided to pass. The 3 bucks, one was a spike, one was a fork, and the last one was a small 6 with a real thin rack. I passed on them all.

What did you see?

300yrds, How can you see that far??
I can barely see 100.
Anyways, I saw 3 does this morning, and 4 does tonight.  Check the cameras finally and there are a couple decent bucks on there.  Unfortunately their patterns are all off now with gun season starting.  Hoping they are still around.

Im taking my BOW out tomorrow, because I saw only does, and I don't have a doe permit in my gun zone.  All my shots will be less than 30yrds with the gun anyways, so I figure now I can shoot a doe.  Ill call it now that I will miss a buck at 30yds with my bow that I would have gotten if I had my gun.   :deer:

Better check the laws.  I don't think you can shoot a doe with your bow during during the rifle season.

I saw 4 does and they were all being chased by bucks.  The only one that i know what it was passed because he was only a fork.

Dakids you can't party hunt when your bow hunting. Im pretty sure you can still bow hunt when it's gun season

I saw one small doe this morning acting like something was chasing her but nothing followed. Then I seen a coyote and tried to get scope on him.but by the time I did he hit my wind and ran across the field

Cody you can still bow hunt during rifle season but unless you have a doe tag in a lottery area you are bucks only during the rifle season.

If you are party hunting with someone else who has a archery tag I believe you can shoot a doe.

Friday afternoon had 50 mph wind so I stayed in camp and made venison stew.  Saturday saw a couple small bucks. This am saw a Nice 5x5 for a couple seconds chasing a doe. No time for a shot.  Tonight saw this tight racked 5x4. But didn't shoot as my buddy ( the guy with cancer) hadn't gotten a shot yet.  Didn't want to mess up his hunt.  Good thing as 20im later he got a nice 5x.  Pic is thru my cell phone..

Six of us hunted pretty hard (7-8 hours a day) both Friday and Saturday.  Everyone had an opportunity to shoot a buck or a doe but no one fired a shot.  Several bucks probably should have been shot but were passed on.  My son saw a big bugger but couldn't get a shot as it was chasing doe in the swamp.

We hunted this morning till 9. The boy saw a fawn, I didn't see anything. The snow turned to white out, that's why we cut it short.

Took my sister out for her first time. She is after her first buck and first deer. Well only one doe came out into the feild.  She came by at 20 yards.  No buck came by
