Chatauqua County Kansas has had a deer explosion in recent years and NINE humans died in just one year from hitting them on the highways in that county. Kansas has issued "either sex" permits for the last 25 years and that STILL hasn't done much to halt the population boom in Whitetail deer. You have to APPLY for a deer tag in Kansas separate from your hunting license, but they aren't expensive. I make some of the best deer jerky you'll ever try and convert about 80% of any deer I take into jerky.Is it legal to hunt doe ANYWHERE? (I mean WITHOUT a near-impossible-to-get special permit.)Watch the hunt 'n' grunts lie that they make herd stronger by "harvesting" the old and sick.
Wish they would harvest each other. With any luck, the dumb twit will shoot herself.

I suspect they would've passed on this deer if it had been a doe. Too many hunt for the antlers and not the venison. Tip: Head for Jackson hole and just gather up some antlers off the ground near the reserve.
Not knowing the hunting regs in OK, I can't say whether they have an option to shoot a doe.
But many hunters only shoot animals with a rack. That does NOT, however, mean they do not eat the venison.
I have been hunting for 40+ years. I have not met a single deer hunter who wasted the meat. I've known quite a few who donate meat, but none who waste it.
I remember reading something about 10 years ago about the Alabama deer population. Wildlife biologists estimate the wild deer population in Alabama to be 1.5 million animals. They went on to say that, in order to maintain a stable population, roughly 1/3 of the population needed to be culled annually.
