RE: Letting Does Walk
Unfortunately, our region still has the "Cattle Rancher" mentality! One bull to 10 cows! Works fine for cattle, but not for deer. One thing is the bucks don't have to move to find does, so you don't see them. Most counties in our area have a 4 deer limit, with a maximum of 2 bucks. So if you kill your limit, you are still not thinning the herd of does to get the ratio right. Many leases in our area will let you kill 2 bucks and only one doe! So what is that doing for an already out of balance deer herd!#@%#@$. We would be much better off taking 2 does and one buck for a few years.But, it ain't gonna happen!Protect them mommas! Thats the way they have done it for over a hundred years, so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to change!
