RE: is it a good idea?
If you have too many does in area, the bucks don't have to search as much to find them. You won't have many bucks straying from random properties either since there are enough does for them to stick around on their home terf to breed. Less does = better herd balance = more competition between bucks = better hunting for all. It sounds to me like some does NEED to bed thinned and your dynamics will improve.
