A buck will not stop the deer herd from growing like taking does would.


The main thing that we face in Louisiana is over population and food. We have to shoot does in order to provide enough food for the herd. So in saying that if you shoot the does you will have a healthier herd as a whole. Land will only hold so many deer in a herd. If you reduce the amount of does that you have you will have a better herd quality. You may not see as many deer as you want to but, the ones that you do see will be a lot healthier.

Also it sounds like someone needs to do some predator management up there.
