In most areas it would do no harm to shoot every one that walked within range. And yes I am serious! Ther aren't many areas in the US that don't have too many does.
In PA we have over 850000 hunters, I hope some of them use a little more logic than to shoot every one they could. Great thinking..[:'(]
And on top of that, the herd is estimated at 1.6 MILLION deer....You could take out 850,000 deer and that would still only be half the herd......Even though it is unrealistic to think that EVERYONE that hunts the state will kill at least 1 deer.....PA averaged a little over 475,000 deer killed annually for the last 5 years.....That's a bunch of deer, and the pop. is still over 1.5 MILLION?? Good grief that's a lot of deer......

Yeah, I don't think whackin some does is gonna hurt much....
