Just like the green line for does on this chart back when we had the two per day doe slaughter……Something to notice is that there’s a point where doe harvest numbers come back down and match the same total as before the slaughter began…..What we all know to be true though is that even though harvest totals may be the same… the deer population post doe slaughter was not……The same thing is currently happening again……but this time its bucks and does that are taking the hit. The doe slaughter situation had some self-correction that took place once folks finally wised up to what was happening…..The current situation is not the same though from that standpoint.
