Default Is there anything wrong with a lot of does??

So I hear a lot about "deer management" and how its good to shoot the does and I guess I just have never completely understood this. I mean, if you have more does, wouldnt that result in more deer and therefore atleast some of those would have to be bucks which means more deer?? Or am I missing something in there. I just dont understand how the taking of does manages the herd, if you had more does, the herd would get bigger which would be a good thing...right?? So help me out here guys, I just dont totally understand the whole point behind shooting the does. I in no way think its wrong or something that shouldnt be done, because I understand it is a good thing to take the old and mature animals out witch would be the old does, but I just dont get how it "helps" the herd....

Any input it appreciated!!

Thanks guys!
