Fact of the matter is, strategic and intense doe harvest can assist in improving hunting quality and success if it’s part of a comprehensive management program. That said, Goat is pretty spot on when it comes to the average hunting property in AL. Problem is, they aren’t all average. We hammer does on some properties and have yet to negatively impact the deer sightings or hunting success. We are very deliberate and precise in how/where/when we start killing does. There has to be purpose behind each harvest decision otherwise you’ll eventually end up off target.

#1 thing is you have to have a lot of acres or be in a group of highly cooperative people. Without that you’re fighting an uphill battle you’ll never win.
