We are the opposite. Too many deer, not enough predators. We shoot alot of does every year and it still isn't enough. We've had seasons where we've shot 60+... seems to not make much of a dent in the overall population. The buck/doe ratio has gotten better it seems. We see alot more bucks than we did 15yrs ago.

Our unwritten rule for our club is everyone in our group should have a goal of shooting 2-3 does each, and look for a buck that will make you happy. I shoot a buck about every 5yrs. Unfortunately I don't normally see something that I want to shoot but its fun passing the younger bucks.

Its interesting to see how the populations and seasons vary by location. I wonder if the lower populations and survival rates cause the does to naturally have more fawns?
