[QUOTE="BSK, post: 3451054, member: 17"] How many does to shoot, if any, is one of the most difficult questions to answer. If deer density is low, and the habitat can withstand more deer without over-browsing problems, then there is nothing wrong with protecting does and allowing the herd density to increase. However, if sex ratios appear skewed heavily towards females (in trail-camera pictures both night and day, NOT just from hunter observations), and you don't mind slowing or reversing herd growth, then shoot a few does. A more balanced sex ratio will cause bucks to be more active during daylight around the rut. However, starting to shoot does will reduce their daylight activity. [/QUOTE]
