ME!  Who shoots the does on your property.Just wondering if its really that important to harvest does.
For the last year or two (since the EHD outbreak) we haven't needed much in the way of doe harvests. Our deer density is way down, while we have the food resources to carry in a healthy manner many more deer than we currently have. We've simply been trying to hold our doe harvest equal to our buck harvest, and we've killed few bucks this year.

Me to the EHD killed our deer herd in west tn. It really funny how some of our farms were worst than others in the same co. I ve seen a big change since 2007.

I didn't. I hunted public land this season and everyday except 2 with a bow. I had ten 8 pt or better bucks in bow range this year just none that I cared to shoot. Could have killed many doe but didn't need the meat. Maybe next year, Ill see one of those bucks I passed.

No deer for me. Been scouting and hunting hard hard since bow season. I saw 10-12 the first hour of gun season and passed on a 15 inch 10 and I haven't seen a deer since.

Me. The only thing that I let walk was me back and forth to my stands. Had a better chance of killing a dinasour than a deer where I'm at.
Glad it's over, try predators now.

I asked this question with a purpose. I was gonna try and arrange a morning hunt on a small spot i have here in lincoln county. I cant guarentee a deer , nor that you would see one , but a change in scenery might be good and who knows maybe a doe to to take home with ya. It would have to be on Fri or sunday morning only depending on my work schedule, so nothing is set just yet , i have to see whats going on with work and all .

If you are offering a place to hunt for all of us that have struck out this year I hope you got a lot of acreage.

I had a good year at my place but it seems that wasn't the case across some parts of the state

Thats very generous Copez, I have been fortunate to have killed five, no monsters or anything but one of my sons hasn't killed anything in two years, he didnt even SEE a deer last year on numerous trips to Decatur,Perry and Lewis counties. My other son has killed two does(all in one morning) but he is a gung ho hunter for 15, he will go after school and any chance he gets and hasnt seen a buck in three years and he is starting to get bummed out about it and all I can tell him is "dont quit".

I had a good year at my place but it seems that wasn't the case across some parts of the state
If i can make it work out with my job and the days off
it will be lincoln County and a private land. Only thing is its shotgun, ML or bow only as per the land owners rules not mine. Its also only a small 30 acre spot thats flat. but 2 people could hunt it myself and 1 more.
