I have a question, If I am at a place where we shot about 12-14 does last season, first time we really had a doe harvest like that. Some spots on the property you can see 10-14 deer and most are does my question is people who hunt here are considering shooting more does this year, will this effect seasons to come on how many deer we see? I like to go sit and see a lot I don’t care if it’s does because bucks will come out in rut. What does the doe harvest do but maybe decrease your population?

I haven’t killed a doe in Alabama in over 10 years. I have no intention of killing any does the rest of my days.

You certainly won't see the deer any more after you kill them.

We use to kill 12-15 does a year on our 1700 acres in Marion junction every year. Never saw a dramatic drop in numbers.

12-14 does off 1800 acres should not have any significant affect on your overall population assuming you’ve got good fawn recruitment and the people around you aren’t just blasting every deer they see all season long. With only 1800 acres, your deer are your neighbors deer and your neighbors deer are yours. You really need to look globally at what is going on, not only on your property but also what is happening on all the properties in the immediate area around you. Evaluate you harvest and management goals as well as your hunter expectations, with regard to deer sightings, and make your decision from there.

This is 100% obvious, but I bet at least half the people reading this disagree.

I don’t want them too shoot them and I don’t understand why they think they should them

You can have too many doe in an area. Let them shoot a few. Heard control comes to mind but it's hard to do outside of a high fence. If they're eating the deer, them I see no problem.

It is a very fine line when it comes to harvesting does without seeing a drastic decrease in sightings. I don’t recall exact numbers but something to the effect of reducing numbers 25% will reduce sightings by 50% or something like that. I am with you I like to see deer when I go hunting, therefore we don’t shoot many does neither do our neighbors.


If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.

This is the biggest issue. Ramp up the hunting pressure and deer sightings will drop.

There is no real reason to shoot them other than someone needing to admit they just want to pull the trigger a bunch and they are trying to justify it. For every deer you kill you will have less next season. The hunting pressure is not a good thing. Why would you want that? Less Does means...well, less Does on your property that will come into heat and that ultimately will draw in bucks during the rut.

Can't think of any scientifically proven reason to shoot a bunch of them either. Sorry. Does are the only thing that will create more Bucks. Less Does. Less Bucks. That's been my experience.

Kids, Meat for freezer, etc. Momma doe that comes up stomping and blowing your stand every single time you sit in it... All valid reasons to shoot a few.

Typical club bull chit, buy yourself a 40 acre cutover and hunt it like you want.

And people always wonder and ask why Alabama's deer herd is in the shape it's in and why the age structure for most of the state is completely jacked up. rofl

Our acreage is similar- and similar # of does was about what we did last year. no noticeable difference based on camera survey from Aug to end of Oct.
Will probably shoot a few more- folks in the community want what we do not use.
