Same here. In the early years, if a hunter on my place reported seeing does, I wanted to see those does dead in the truck! We slaughtered them. And it worked. Then we had the 2007 EHD outbreak and the neighboring migratory bird refuge started slaughtering does. We then placed a moratorium on doe harvests. We're only just now, 15 years later, starting to come off that moratorium.Thanks, learned a lot of it from you!
In the early years we killed 2-3 times as many does as bucks, but that changed after the bad EHD epidemic.
