I honestly don’t think people in our area are shooting does as much as they once were. The novelty has worn off I think. That is just my observation no scientific proof
You’re correct…..a lot of folks HAVE wised up to the doe blasting but you’re still getting an increase in kill numbers none the less due to baiting opening up so many new “opportunities” through small properties and feeders. Big hunting club “X” might not be shooting as many does as they used to……but now they’re suddenly surrounded by a LOT more small properties that are taking up their slack on a landscape level.
