Done it every way you can think of but most often we kill does early as possible off plots and then the pressure is off. Most of our plots get hunted 4-8 times a season. Killed as many as 5 in one sitting and still had to run deer off getting out. Killed multiple bucks within minutes of killing a doe, with her laying in the field. It’s because they are not pressured. Sitting a field 2-3 times a week KILLS plot observations even if you never pull the trigger. Or you can hunt it very sparingly and shoot every dang time time and it don’t hurt a thing.
And that's with gun ?
Not answering for MBrock but I have been on properties like this. Limit human intrusion into the deer's habitat and it works. Loud bangs don't frighten the deer as much as smelly hunters tromping through their homes every day.
