Thread: do you shoot hinds???

As a meat hunter, hunting DOC Blocks that always dont hold high numbers i shoot generally the first deer i see(quite possible the only deer i see that day).
I dont mind if its a velvet stag, a hind or whatever.
Seem to shoot a equal number over time between stags, hinds, spikers, yearlings etc. If i see a couple, i normally shoot the best eating one. Ie hind and yearling i take the yearling.

If its a stag and a spiker i take the spiker. During the roar i generally will just hunt stags.
When the hinds have dropped there young i tend to avoid hunting and then avoid the hinds where possible. Of cause if i was hunting a area with high deer numbers i take more hinds
as they better eating .
Still, i combat areas around here that have low numbers (due 1080, hunting pressure etc) in hunting those areas only 2-3 times a year.
Hence have 15 different spots i go on a rotation basis and always willing to look at new spots etc.
I dont mine if some spots are crap or try a spot i have no idea about, getting a animalisnt always the main reason to get out.

Just being out there doing it is what counts and i nearly always just shot one (if option to shot more come up) as thats all i can carry and leave for next time or
the next hunter
