This topic may have been discussed ad nauseum on here but if so, I missed it.
Is it preferable to hold off on harvesting does before the rut so they can go into estrous and bring in the bucks? Or on the flip side will taking a couple does before the rut enhance visible rutting behavior. I have heard it both ways and I am sure the buck to doe ratio is a factor.
What is optimum for a high doe density property and what about a property with a more balanced herd?
