Yes, it’s absolutely about killing does as well as managing habitat.

It can be but not always. Some properties need to kill does. Some do not. It’s very site specific.

Killing more bucks than does has never been on the table on any property I’ve managed.

It’s about improving habitat condition and keeping a deer population within a reasonable level within whatever habitat condition you have. That’s different depending on objectives and the habitat types there.
