If I don't see 15+ a sit I've had a bad day. From hunting perspective it probably doesn't get much better. But we don't shoot does and the people around us don't kill them like chickens either, thankfully.
Guess it's all about perspective and management goals. There's nothing wrong with either one, but I personally don't want to sit and see 15 deer per hunt in a 1/2 acre field. I occasionally see 15 deer a hunt, but expecting it is not what I am trying to accomplish at all. It's fine if you want to manage for numbers of deer seen/hunt, but expecting other folks who are trying to manage for different reasons to stop killing does is very narrow minded. Everyone does not manage their deer herd the same, and don't want to.
Matt, with your own eyes, have you ever seen a noticeable increase in the quality of bucks and total number of quality bucks, with an increased doe harvest?
