My buddy Ikillbux will say Alfa has nothing to do with it. And like me or not I agree with him, or at least my knowledge of them anyway. Now is Alfa crooked in other ways as a whole? Yea probably are! 🤣🤣
like Cam, I once jumped on the doe train and slap kilt some nannies. Called up buddies and they buddies and we kilt the piss out of em for about 3 years. Spikes and “cull bucks too”. Lmao
About that 4th year we didn’t see many deer and 5 years later we was in the same shape, same “big buck size” but not many deer. We kicked my own ass for that, I’ll shoot some does running dogs in Chambers county cause that’s what the land owner wants. But I won’t shoot many a year with a rifle, sorta save for em for other folks that wanna kill em. But I’ve kilt my share of the apple headed, snorting, sobs.

Dept Conservation started pushing killing does in 1980 er so. They started the DMAP program to enable certain properties to kill the snot out of "overpopulated" doe herds. Common saying then was " you cannot kill too many deer by sport hunting"....well that wasn't true as we see now.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

We had began to build a substantial herd up our way probly 16 to 18 years ago...then we switched to 2 does a day all season long..and for an area of the state with overall poor fawn recruitment..we basically hit the reset button...and...presto...zone C....no deer...no turkey....plenty of bass...if you like that sortah thing.

We, along with the guys south of us killed 30 this year. We have an over abundance of does. This was on a total of 1700 acres. We will see what it looks like next year. Btw, what is dmap going to tell me that I don't already know, after fooling with our herd for 43 years?

I am strictly asking a question here, and am kind of playing Devil's advocate.......but do you think by shooting every doe you can, that they get kind of wise like the bucks and go nocturnal?
I have been on a small club for the last 10 years and we only take a handful of does every year. Old guys that I hunt with have not shot 1 doe in the 10 years I have been here, but they have no problem taken 1.5 year old basket rack 6. I'm no biologist, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night, but I bet there is a balance somewhere between letting them walk and killing everyone you see.

You have to kill Does! You have to "Feed the Family"! Keep killing them in large numbers and the population will decline!

In a lot of areas the coyotes and dogs kill a heck of a lot more deer than hunters. Late in the season if you aren't seeing a lot of 6 month old fawns you might have a problem other than hunters shooting does. At least 10 deer (that I know of) were killed by traffic within 1/2 mile of my house since October. So you gotta take those into account as well.

Dept biologists said coyotes had zero impact on deer numbers...they didn't KILL deer. They were as wrong about that as they were killing does.

The dept biologists (many of them) have said the same thing I've always said. Coyotes do kill SOME deer, but certainly nowhere near the amount we're lead to believe.and killing does can be very beneficial to the overall health and age structure when the local deer numbers are taken into account. Obviously it doesn't apply everywhere to every piece of property.

Coyotes kill a huge number of new fawns every year, worse on some places than others.

As I’ve said before, when we got our place in Monroe co. we would kill 12-15 does a year for the first few years. We noticed a decline in deer sightings and also deer sign in the woods. The plots would not get clipped much at all. We decided to cut back on doe killing. Only 2-3 killed for the last 5 yrs by the kids. The doe numbers bounced back strong on our place because of it and also our neighbors don’t hunt anymore so that helped them also. It’s a double edged sword because now we have lots of older does that seem to just walk around blowing and also I think they run bucks out of areas where we are feeding until the rut. According to cameras the bucks will show up at feeders till the does show up and never get another picture of the bucks. We are going to try to kill a few more of the older does next season. It’s hard to get my guys to shoot does so it’s gonna be up to the kids. Also now that I’m no longer farming I will have time to start bow hunting again. Hopefully we can get a few killed early.
