My uncle and I got into a long debate regarding the harvesting of does. He doesn't believe that reducing the doe population actually helps your huntingand here were a couple of the points he made that really got my attention:

1. More does = More deer = More Bucks
2. Bucks will have more does to chase in the fall making them move longer into the season.

We live in Illinois so there always seems to be an abundance of food during the season. What do you guys think..is harvesting does really the right thing to do???
