[QUOTE="Boll Weevil, post: 4983542, member: 10006"] The rule of thumb on my farm is to remove 1 doe per 100 acres to maintain the current population density. Anything more than that on an annual basis will reduce the local herd. If you’ve been killing 2-3 does per year on 53 acres for a few years that works out to 2-6 does per 100 acres. If others around you are doing the same, could very easily have knocked the numbers back to a point it’s challenging to see deer. Are you at least seeing sign? Deer can’t fly so if there’s tracks, poo, etc at least you know there’s a few around. If no sign you might have a deer numbers issue. [/QUOTE]
