true less does mean the bucks need to search more, but having said that if you shoot a doe and she is with other does andthenitspooks the rest of the does, the chances of the does running back through are slim. Id wait!!! the arguement about an extra doe in the area means that bucks from other areas might come in too. The bucks you have on your property might chase a doe to the otherside of the county you wont see that buck for a month or two. use the does like bait right now, keep them happy. When the rut kicks off by me i see more bucks i have never seen before and the bucks i regonize are few and far between.
MAn what a great post.
If you'r eonly seeing 2-3 does on your grounds....chances are you aren't overrun, anyways. WHY shoot one of them? I'm ALL for taking does in the right circumstances.....but shooting does isn't the right thing to do on each piece of property. Rob/PA's hunting grounds are a PRIME example. He doesn't have an "abundance". He's taken what?????,,,,,,,,ONE in several years, there?
That's managing your land.....for what's there.
