So here’s a question for the shoot more does crowd……Sticking with the Bibb Co example with them killing 2000 bucks and 1700 does…….If you did try to balance the ratio through doe harvests like is being suggested…..Could Bibb Co handle killing another 300 does per year and sustain that long term without the overall population decreasing?? What about if we take and apply these ideas to counties like Marshall……Could Marshall handle doubling its doe harvest to try and match the bucks being killed??.........

It’s site specific CNC. I only recommend whatever doe harvest is needed to accomplish landowner objectives. There’s not one answer to every situation. I do know the properties I’m managing are some of the best places to hunt and have a quality experience. Also, the majority of habitat in AL is not in good condition. It’s awful as a matter of fact. There’s a lot of places I visit that aren’t reaching the populations potential because they’re being held back by poor timber and habitat management.
