[QUOTE="jakeway, post: 5007441, member: 280"] I remember when TN went to the 3 does per day limit...BSK said that the does would soon be scarcer and harder to kill than bucks, not necessarily because there would be fewer of them, but because mature does are darn smart and are good teachers! Once they realized they are being hunted hard, they will change their behavior. Sure enough, that's what's happened on our property. We used to see groups of 4 to 6 does and fawns regularly. This year I saw deer almost every single hunt, yet most were young bucks. The only doe I got a decent shot on after archery season was one doe in ML season. Yet I killed two nice 3.5+ bucks and passed on more young bucks than I can remember. So far we've seen none of the classic signs of over-browsing and all the deer we've taken have been fat and healthy (until they met up with us that is). [/QUOTE]
