Default RE: Managing Herds......

ORIGINAL: Germ

If the habitat can support 500,000 deer than one is not more healthier than the other.

Exactly................yet that is all I ever hear guys telling me......."shoot more does and let the bucks walk"

Why do guys cry when a BB or spikegets shot but don't care when their mom gets killed??.......the young buck is only one.........the doe could possibly bring 6more bucks into your area in the next 4 years.

Can't have bucks without does to give birth to them.

Unless your population is so out of whack that the land is at abreaking point (VERY rare) I see no need to target does specifically and see it as counter productive for hunting management.
