I shoot a booner every sit. So two hunts is all I need.
Shooting the younger ones is easy, just aim a little lower.I only get two buck tags so to say I'm selective is an understatement. I generally kill at least one and often two bucks a year. I've always said those tags are my tickets to hunt. Ideally I'd fill my second tag on Jan. 1st.
Its only in the last couple of years that Michigan has gotten more liberal with the doe tags in teh areas I hunt but I still have trouble shooting does, especially does with young un's with them . . .old habits die hard. Truth of the matter is I just really enjoy time in the tree.

I do with nuisance tags for farmers. All have to be used before bow season opens.I dont hunt out of season.
Preferably less than 5. Interferes with trapping.
Get paid to do it these days. Still do some general fur trapping which i can at least cover gas.You gotta truly love trapping to do it these days. No money in fur and the time/money outlay into it is no joke. Do you break even?
