One property in Brown county
635 acres
Landowner requested a goal of 15 does taken
2007 harvest 15 does 6 bucks.
ALL but three of the does were shot by non residents. Those three were shot by the landowners family. It's all in how things are managed
Which is great for that one piece of property, but are you gonna tell me that all leased and outfitted properties are managed this way. You can find an example to prove anything that you want, but it still doesn't make you right. There are antlered does, but does that mean that the majority of does have antlers. It's not even worth arguing with you over these things because you are going to bend it to where you are in the right, and I the majority of Illinois resident HUNTERS are in the wrong. We are thieves because we "take something for nothing", and outfitters are saviors because all they do is give back. Give me a break man.
On our outfit this year we killed over 70 does this year. If the outfitter knows what they are doing they will manage there heard properly. I can find many other outfitters that do this as well until their heard is the way they want it.
