If I hunt deer that free-range a square mile......I can tell you for sure, right now.....that there are at least20 less does in the herd, today....than there would have been (based on the road kills I know about....my kills and the kills of my neighboring farmer via depredation permit). I'm also positive the doe groups I've been targeting range less than that sq. mile, typically.

Is this enough to make a difference in the rut? Just an educated guess? Wild guess??....lol
