ORIGINAL: kickin_buck

I shoot all of my does early season. I would shoot the mature doe and I knew for fact that the little ones were indeed does, I would try my best to shoot them also. I try to take as many does as I can and it still seems as if the number of does still double each year. If you want to look down on my for my management style, so be it, I take not offense to it. I understand that each one of do things different. I don't do it for the accomplishment, I do it in an attempt to try to keep the number of does in check. I also understand that there is a fault with my management style. As I said I only shoot does about the 1st month of season, once the rut is even close to kicking it I am looking my buck and nothing else. I don't shoot does in late season, mostly because they might be carring my next buck. I have nothing against those that shoot does in the late season, I also understand that doing so is a more effective way to keep doe numbers in check. It just is not what I do, as I said, I know and understand we all do things differently.
I do the same as you, with the exception of shooting the fawn or fawns with the doe.
