I don't understand why you can't hunt the way you want to, it almost sounds like it a hassle or a chore for you to hunt and I hope it isn't!!! Hunt the way you want to!

But if you hunted your land and the Bio. told you that you needed to take 8 does off the property this year.....what would you do?
A Biologist??? How many acres do you have that you need a Biologist to tell you what to shoot???

Jeff do you consult a biologist every year? what is your ratio there? You have your hands full shooting alot of doe every year! I would try to get it done as early as possible so you can enjoy the rut! Let me know if you need help shooting any does I would love to come down and hunt! I could stay and visit my dad!

I have actually sat next to a guy who took a fawn over a real nice 8:D I asked "What on earth are you doing" he replied "I like the little ones"[8D]

No, but related. He was even told by a guide Cananda and I quote "You like the little ones":) We about fell out of our chairs.

I shoot a fawn every year, last year little missy did not hang around long enough for me to reload[8D] My Grandfather loves fawn meat. Every year I try and shoot one for him, plus the drag is way nicer:)

Several times a year. We email a lot.


what is your ratio there?
Don't know. We know from just my sightings that there are too many does, though.....even taking into account the multiple sightingsof the same deer. He's well aware of how I keep records....and I leave the rest up to him. The "8" number is actually low.

Shoot me a PM if you're gonna be down this way.

I would shoot them but we only can get a 2 doe tag limit so therefor I want big ones to fill the freezer! If I could shoot unlimited like some people hell yea I would shoot them the meat is real good!

Geezh, I just asked you a simple question. :eek:


Thanks, you to!;)

Just didn't seem like it was headed right, BHF......but I HUNT 250 or so (not adjoining). We (Bio. and I) base everything (my records - his recommendations)on the herd he thinks I'm hunting.....which is inside about 2.23sq. mi.

RE: Spinoff of taking a fawn...
 
No worries there Jeff, I just thought that Biologists were used for the big places with thousands of acres to manage, like the these game farms so to speak!

Is there a cost for his services??? Would be a bad gig to have!

GMMAT 08-13-2008 01:51 PM

RE: Spinoff of taking a fawn...
 
Nope. No charge. He's even come out to my home. We've walked the land, together, too.

He's an email away....and I've gone to that well plenty. Chris is a great guy. He's offered to come out and talk to the surrounding landowners........those that let us hunt and those who don't (on HIS time).

Whatever the NCWRC is paying him....it isn't enough.

Thats pretty cool, like I said sure would be a great gig!

I shot one once just before I was leaving for college in January and it had alot of ground shrinkage. I got grief from alot of people, but they did not refuse the handoutI gave them for the table.
