I never read the other thread but I was watchin a show the other day and they had wilkdlife biologist speaking on their about QDM and said that if you take out a mature doe with buck fawns by her side those bucks are more likely to stay in your area because if she wasn't shot she would go through what they call "dispersal", where once they are old enough she kicks em out of the home range miles away sometimes. So he was saying by shooting your big does with buck faws with her, will keep more of those young bucks around in your hunting area for the future. Thats interesting and prolly good to know. WCL
Interesting WCL!! Thanks for the info.
