RE: PA Deer Hunters
I am in 3B and am fortunate to have about 120 acres of private property that is also landlocked by another 300+ acres of property that sees very little pressure, and no doe hunting. The guys that do hunt around our patch will shoot 8 point or larger bucks and don't shoot does. They don't mind that we do. We have an overabundance of does on the property, there are 7-8 different family groups of them and probably roughly 15-20 does on the property that I am familiar with this year. Last year I passed a lot of deer including does hoping for a nice buck to come in, and only one doe was taken last year by my father. This year we hope to take 3-4 does between my dad, myself, and my one good buddy that I allow on the property.
