I hunt in Choctaw county,our west border is the Ms.state line,we have +/-12000 acres with 60 members we are 2 does per paid membership,3 bucks.These rules have been in effect since the doe shooting started,we knew it was going to be a problem.The deer herd on our land has not changed much in 20 years,we still see plenty of does and plenty of bucks,the majority of the does have 2 yearlings every year.Over all I would say our deer herd is in good shape.EDUCATION is the key thing here,if you need to thin the does do it,but if not leave them alone.We had some guys from the B'ham area come hunt with us this year,and they had never seen as many deer and deer sign as they did on our club.I have seen the mentality change that some of you are talking about and it is sad.
