What happens to the rest of the group of 8 when you shoot the head mama doe? Of course the button head is leaving eventually anyways but what happens with the other does in the group? Do they stick together and one just assumes the new lead role? Do they bust up and form new doe groups? How do they handle the competition from other doe groups now that the head doe is gone?

I don’t fully understand it but I have a feeling that shooting the old mama does that are leading these groups will cause turmoil in the social structure somehow…..I think its definitely gonna cause sudden new competition amongst doe groups which will make everything more erratic and less patternable….Yes, those old does are territorial and aggressive toward young bucks but are you truly better off taking them out??
