Hello all, I just joined this group. I need some help. I hunt on 365 acres in southwest Texas, lots of brush and cactus. I have 3 large oat fields. Over the last three years I have noticed that I do not see many mature does. We have plenty of young does with fawns. We have lots of two and three year old bucks also. We never shoot anything under eight points and really try to limit our takes to four years and up. My concern is what has happened to all of our older does. We do not have a game fence and are surrounded on all sides by large ranches. We tend to see a lot of the same bucks each year, but I believe they are mainly just passing through our place.

Thanks
