rybo....John....
You both know I'm trying to thin the herd this year.....because that's what my wildlife bio said I needed to do. That being the case....and you STILL wanted a chance at a buck.....what would you do?
I've stated my approach....based on the hand I've been dealt.
If herd reduction was your goal....but you STILL wanted your BEST chance at a buck.....what would you do?
Thanks. I'm ALL ears.
Sorry I misunderstood your question.
I your case I would without a doubt try to pattern a buck and kill him before the rut. I say this because by continuing to kill the does you are (as you know) going to alert them to your presence and most likely disrupt their routines. This will not only make it harder to get on the does but will cause the bucks tobe even more on alert because the does now are andeven harder to pinpoint because the only constant you had (doe movement) has also been disrupted.
