For anyone who has never heard the term "doe sink"......it's a common occurrence amongst landowners who practice QDM. Folks tend to take a piece of property with the goal of improving it by adding food plots, fruit orchards, better bedding, etc......What many find happening is that after years of making improvements....they suddenly become heavily populated with does and very few bucks are present outside of the rut. Its due to how does flock to the best areas with the best food and cover for raising fawns......and then prosper.....while running off the dispersing young bucks. The property fills up it's carrying capacity with mostly doe groups. I know what having a bunch of does is. I’ve just never heard anybody call it a doe sink.

It's a little different than just having a bunch of does.....It isn't a result of someone shooting a bunch of bucks while not shooting any does.....It's a result of mostly habitat manipulation. I've seen the same thing happen at my place. I rarely have any bucks in here until the rut and then they come out of the wood work. I When I first bought the property it was the exact opposite. I've got pics of a field full of nice velvet bucks that would be in here early in the season.....It's just a.matter.of how someone chooses to manage

Not sure.....I didn't quote you or call you by name if you'll look back....I thought maybe since you mentioned such that there might be others who had never heard the term. Nobody had explained it so I threw it out there as to what it was.... It's no wonder folks don't talk about deer on here anymore.....It's become an asshole sink

2 Dogs - I have a field like that - I hardly ever see does in this spot we call the trough field. It is a buck hang out!! It is like a boy only site I joke some times - I had to nice shooters showing up there last year before season To muzzleloader and some other small bucks - some pictures I would hav 4-6 deer in picture - all male. It is the same this year minus the shooters - but I think they will show up in the next 3-4 weeks. Field is Surrounded mostly by young pine thicket - hardwood head just off the left side 40 yards from field and 2 year old clear cut off the back side. Now on other side of the place - we hav the opposite - girl spot - see 3-8 does per sit - spike common - sometimes see Rack buck - decent size field surrounded by like 11 year old pines. Yep, sounds familiar. I've seen it on my place several times. Some places bucks will always be there and some places bucks and does may flip flop spots from one year to the next. Why I wondered if the OP has just one cam out , across the hill might be the He Man Woman Haters Club.

Your response came after my statement. Don’t know why you’re getting so defensive. I simply stated that I’ve never heard anyone use the term before to describe the condition. But yet, you want to turn it into name calling session for some reason. Sure
