Little wonder you must do so much scouting to find a doe to kill...you're looking for the wrong type of critter...12 doe in 2 years you say????? hmmmm more like 12 groundhogs maybe as I seriously doubt you're a good enough
hunter to kill even 1 measly doe!
I don't doubt that what your seeing are deer.I just doubt that they're the only deer in the twp or even close it.
I actually usually average about 2-3 groundhogs per year these days.It used to be in the 40-50/year range but I don't hunt them much any more.I have far more opprotunites to kill deer than I do groundhogs.I don't hunt farms where the deer some into fields on a predicatable basis.I hunt the big woods where groundhogs don't exists.
