Maybe look at it this way. Killing off some does makes more room for other deer to move in from other areas. We know that most bucks are pushed from their birth territory early in life. If they find lots of cover, food, low competitionand space they'll settle in your area. They pick a home territory NOT based on lots of does to breed in a 2 week period. They pick it for the reasons stated above. I agree the DNRs have gone over board in some areas and states and they find out when kill numbers fall. They then revamp their doe permits etc. NY has had a big decline in doe tags in some countiesand more in others the past 2 or 3 years. They do it based on kill reports. That's why it's important to file them as required by law.
