[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5709794, member: 20583"] I choose young does if possible. My main reason is because nothing in deer hunting is more predictable than when a doe will hit estrus each year. She hits same time every year almost like clockwork. And the older she gets the more bucks know about it, and the older they also get. Better yet once a doe sets up camp she almost never leaves unless she has to. What better buck attractant can you have than an actual doe that you know where she lives and when she's going to be hot? That's why I don't like killing older does. They're worth more to me on the hoof than in the freezer. There are plenty brand new does made every year that have more tender meat anyways. I'll keep the granny nannies right where they are. Also I like being able to handle & care for the meat fairly quickly when it's warm like early season, and smaller young does make that easy. I don't want to be dealing with a heifer when it's 80* out. [/QUOTE]
