RE: How many does to shoot??
It all depends on your buck to doe ratio. Most places there are alot more does than bucks, and your gonna see more does because they are generaly more active than bucks during daylight. The best way is to try and get as acurate of a estimate asyou can from sightingsof number of bucks compaired to number of does. The ideal ratio would be one buck to no more than two does. I hunt a 775 acre farm and from the best I could tell last year the ratio was somewhere around 1 buck to 6 or 7 does. So myself and the other guys who hunt the farm went on doe patrol and ended up taking somthing like 20 does and 5 bucks. I was doing a little summer scouting last weekend and Ill tell you this, we didnt even put a dent in them.
