[QUOTE="tellico4x4, post: 5127460, member: 2474"] This will be our second year of doe restrictions on food plots. Only allow does to be killed on plots during bow/ml then the week of private antlerless after regular season closes. If youth didn't kill during juvi hunt, then they can kill 1 whenever but encouraged to get it done early. Our rut is during early Dec. Last year was an eye opener for amount of relaxed does on plots & mature bucks that followed them onto. We have 41 plots and require members to kill as many does as they do bucks. In addition and based on surveys & observation data each member may also have to take an additional doe. Our doe to buck ratio has been 1.5:1 for last decade. What I noticed last year that folks were getting into the woods and going "hunting". Shooting does in the woods, instead of just blasting them on plots. Does that really hadn't been messed with for 20 years. Also actually killing some good bucks in the woods while looking for does! Excited to see what this year holds. [/QUOTE]
