I take at least three does a year. I hunt for bucks just to extend my time in the field but when the end of a certain season comes to the end, I take a doe if available. I always give my sister a doe. She had both knees replaced and a back operation and just don't get out to hunt like she used to but still likes the venison.
I take one doe to my elderly neighbor that used to hunt with me but can't do to health problems.
I put one in the freezer myself. I have many places that land owners let me hunt with my pistols and stick bows when I agree to take does only. It is also a good way to test loads.
with 6 available tags in Oklahoma and 2 tags in Kansas I never have a shortage of venison. Kansas is archery only for my tags I draw and hunting with stickbows makes it even more enteresting.
We do let the small, 4,6,8 point bucks walk in KS and sometimes in Oklahoma. Antlers don't cook up to well.
