Default RE: is it good to shoot does

Less does means more competition for breeding between the bucks. This should result in the bigger, stronger, genetically superior bucks getting the majority of the action............leading to better offspring.

That looks real good on paper but the truth is that most states deer herds are so out of whack that they would have to have a few years straight of doe only seasons to have any kind of impact on the herd as a whole.

Remember you are talking about millions of deer dropping 1-2 fawns every year so statistically speaking that is a pretty tough hill to climb. Especially when a lot of hunters are just out for a nice buck and let does walk by all day.


Me??...........if it walks by my tree and I have an empty tag in my pocket then it' s going in my freezer.....Where they all look alike
