I know there are tons of variables at play, so I probably can't get a specific answer without more information, but . . . give it your best guesses. A property that is approximately 500 acres. About 40% tillable (usually beans). Abnormal number of persimmon trees that produce a ton of fruit scattered across the whole property and a fair number of oak. Some hunting pressure on surrounding farms, but not excessive and the largest neighbor is selective on bucks killed, though I don't know about their doe killing - but I'm working on that. Very dense deer population is my initial observation. Every time I've been to the farm I've seen a dozen or more deer and often see groups of 8-10 in fields. Most of the deer I've seen are does and small bucks - but that makes sense since I've only been there a few times and always during mid to late afternoon.
What would be a round-about goal for doe harvest on this farm? Again, I know I don't have enough info for a specific answer.
I recently gained access to the property so I don't have much more info at this time. I've got a couple cameras up but they haven't been up long enough to tell me anything.
