Default RE: One Mean Doe

Yes, I' ve seen it and another reason for doe management. Bucks and does compete for the same food, too many doe, not enough feed for bucks and bucks will move off for better nutrition, does are pretty much home bodies but bucks will travel....

More to the point of your post, we had a barren doe that ruled a 8 acre alphalpha field, any deer that entered the field, she' d run over to and check it out, if it was a buck, usually she' d run it off....try as we might, we couldn' t get her in range, she' s not there this year....
