"no such thing as too many does"......what planet did that bit of non-knowledge come from?????
I have been on and hunted several properties in Alabama that had too many does. A browse line equates into too many deer on that property. Too many does and bucks. Most of those properties had very limited doe shooting for many years, some had restricted buck harvests, some unlimited. The herd needed to be restructured away from having way more does than bucks, like 5,6,7, does per buck. But browse lines mean you have too many deer, easiest way is to stop killing bucks and remove some of the "too many" does.
I have only hunted one property like that. Saw herds of does, 1 spike and piles of hogs. No visible green that you could reach. Any vegetation smaller than your thumb was clipped off the tree as high as you could reach and nothing growing from ground level. Deer were mostly the size of the Walker hounds. The good ole days of management by the forked horn method.
