People are gonna say that you gotta shoot some of them eventually as if they will just keep on piling in and accumulating more and more does…..That’s not what happens though……They typically hit a point where social stress over resources kicks in and the older does run anything else off…….You’ll get to a point of seeing 20 does or so and that will be as many as you ever see….
This is why people talk about not seeing bucks anymore when doe populations get high in an area……Those old does are running off any young bucks that try to disperse into the area and set up shop…..This is how bucks end up often times setting up their core area in secondary locations….That’s just how the population dynamics set up on a landscape scale…..Shooting does in this scenario opens up holes for young bucks to fill….This idea would be ok if you had a lot of land and a lot of deer…..Your not going to grow bucks on 100 acres though…..the best strategy in this situation is to draw them to you with hot unpressured nooky
