thin out the deer population to much
I never killed myself a doe only killed bucks. I am always afraid to kill does because I feel there arent many deer around me. I am thinning out the deer herd to much by kiling the does.

RE: thin out the deer population to much
If you aren't seeing deer, you are either very stinky or have a low deer population. If you have good hygiene, then I would defer the problem to the latter. Harvesting does may not be necessary for your property at this time, but do not take that as you should harvest as many bucks as you like. I'd limit myself to one buck a year and try to identify what the habitat is lacking thatmay belimiting the utilization of your property...food, cover, water, etc. I also posted on another one of your posts asking for an aerial of the property. Do you own the land you hunt on?

RE: thin out the deer population to much
I can describe the area corn, beans,alalfa fields all around. There is a river running though my hunt area. Most hunts I see deer. I dont see big groups like some people have in their hunting areas. Which makes me think there arent any deer.
