If thats the case Bsk then they should show restraint on both sexes.

I agree with BW 100%. If you want to manage property....buy or lease your own. I wouldn't go advising how someone else ought to use their own land that they allow me to hunt. I would buy him a pocket knife or Country Ham at Christmas with a nice "Thank you" note for allowing me to hunt his property.

May have an answer for you...Good news is you have a lot more than 95 acres worth of deer. More like 5000 acres if you look at the big picture. You may be limited to only 95 acres but the deer surly aren't, a deer can travel a mile like we can travel a few hundred yards. If possible I would try and find out what is being done on surrounding property, are people hunting it or is it idol. If it is being hunted, what is their criteria? How many deer are they killing and what sex? Next and most important is where and how much do you and land owners hunt on the 95 acres? Do you hunt same stands as the owners? If so then you can simply solve that problem by hunting different areas. In my opinion killing a 1.5 yo is just not a challenge and if I'm seeing several of them while hunting then I know I'm in the wrong spot. Older or even just smarter young bucks will not follow those easy doe trails like a young dumb 1.5 will do. Also if pressure is heavy for the entire season then I would wait until November before I moved into un-hunted areas of the property. Wish you the best of luck and same to the land owners who allow you to hunt.

Ok it was clearly a mistake making this thread.... you guys will never get the whole picture....if I could UNPOST it I would

The next thing you do is quit worrying about those older guys and just go hunt. Just be happy you have a place to hunt with the population that place has.

BowGuy I know how you feel about getting invited to hunt others property when you have little to know control. I would suggest trying to change things a little at a time. Maybe try talking them into having a doe weekend or a doe week. After they see that the world did not end by killing some does things might change a bit. If not you at least tried. I would then try to find other hunting options.
