[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5635059, member: 1409"] Most farmers are mainly shooting female deer simply to reduce the deer population (and crop damage). Ongoing deer populations are "managed" almost totally by the doe kill, with little impact on the ongoing total numbers of deer by the buck kill. Despite the per hunter deer limit being 2 bucks annually and 3 doe a day, most NW TN hunters now kill more bucks than does annually (and/or in near equal ratios). The majority who make a kill simply kill 1 deer annually, which might be a buck, might be a doe. The 3 doe a day limit was implemented to encourage hunters to kill more doe in Unit L. It somewhat has worked, but not many hunters have backed off, realizing most only want or need a deer or two a year to eat, simply not wanting to "mess with" killing any more deer than that. [/QUOTE]
