Played out that way here in east Texas too with slight variations.
We grew up protecting the does. I remember the first time I killed a doe when it was made legal to do so I felt like a murderer. That was several years after the practice was made legal.
Yeah, a lot of the older hunters wouldn't do it after is was legal.Opening day first year it was legal, we took 18 deer. Odd thing,9 of the hunters thought they were shooting does, turned out were full grown bucks with very short horns.
