[QUOTE="BSK, post: 3835144, member: 17"] Southpaw89, Tough question to answer. I'm torn between giving good management advice and good hunting advice. But to answer one of your primary questions--can you have much impact on 43 acres--the answer is some but not dramatic impacts. That said, it's every hunter's responsibility to manage their local deer herd. For me, from a management perspective, the question is, how much management is required in your area? Is the current deer population too high? If it's not, the need for anything beyond "recreational" management (shooting does if you want, for recreation or meat) is lessened. Either way, if you need or desire to shoot does, I suggest doing so late in the season, after the rut and after your primary buck hunting has been completed. This doe harvest timing seems to reduce the negative impacts of hunting pressure on rut buck hunting the following year. [/QUOTE]
