For God's sake….more than one “doe” is “does”……with a “s”

I have to say I am one of the ones that uses doe to mean one female deer or multiple female deer. I just absolutely hate the way the word "does" sounds. It may be right to say I saw 7 does, instead of I saw 7 doe.
I will continue to uses doe, because in my head does doesn't make sense.
Kind of like I spell ya'll, not y'all.

There are much bigger things to worry about anyways like tree stands on public, scent control or playing the wind, peeing in a bottle or off the stand.

Oh my gosh, what!? There's an alternate way to spell ya'll???

Look, ya'll can bicker between ya'llselves about the spelling of this, that, and the other... but ya'll ain't never gonna change the way we spell this. I mean, if you gonna change it, might as well say yuns or yins!
 
One thing that I can’t stand is people here in Minnesota seem to think it’s Opinion in stead of the correct pronunciation of Uhpinion! Drives me nuts.

So I have no preference between yinz, yins, yuns, or youns, ever since moving here.

But I do know the right word is yous.

Gotta throw in some “I hate the game commission because they killed my going to camp and drinking beers all weekend tradition.” Ya know, by giving other hunters a chance to get out on one more Saturday.
