I am not much on taking does around here, but I know when it has to be done for management reasons, I have started a management program on the farm I hunt, next year I have gotten the approval to plant a plot of Bio Logic, I want to improve the deer around me, I have let many smaller bucks walk this year, but give them a couple of years, and they will be nice bucks. But for the does, I have not seen as many as I thought, but my hunting partner shot one on Oct.17th, so I am going to take one around the later part of the season. But maybe if a big buck comes by, I will shoot that!! Around here the buck to doe ration is about even from what I have seen this year!
