RE: question on does
The area I hunt here in Michigan used to have a huge number of does. It was common to see 10+ does every time I hunted but I hardly ever saw any bucks. The DNR then issued a lot of doe permits and after about 5 years the total deer population was way down but now I see bucks almost as often as I see does. I don't see as many deer total but I see a lot more bucks. In my opinion I would thin some does out.
