RE: Anybody stop hunting with tags still in your possession?
I'm in a little different situation .....with the herd dynamics, here. I NEED to kill does. I could take the easy way out and just shoot what I want to.....and I haven't necessarily ruled that out. I would love to have a little bit of help. I'm not above going with someone in my woods next year and just watching......pointing out what to take and what not to. I wish my son was into deer hunting as much as dear hunting. I'd love for him to take all the does we need to get out of the herd.
With as many does as I've seen in the last few days.....I wonder if I'm doing any good. If I told you how many sightings I had Fri. and sat......you wouldn't believe me. I know I saw some of the same does multiple times.....but I counted 23 does, Friday....and between 35 and 40 on Saturday MORNING. I sighted9 does, Saturday evening....along with a few BB's and a 1.5 yr old buck. One other unknown buck was sighted chasing some of the does out of the woodlot.
I could sit back and let them do whatever they're gonna do.....but I'm naive enough to think I can make a difference. It might take a few years to find out I can't (or can). I don't know anyone in my situation that's been successful. That's the problem.
