I have been hunting for a long time and have seen places that shot the hell out of a lot of does and other places that didn't. My impression is that if you have good habitat the deer will be there. If you shoot a bunch of does off of it, more will move in and take their place. Had a place in Union Springs years ago and you would not believe how many bucks we took off it every year and the next year it would be full of them again. I was always worried we were shooting it out but they kept coming back I assume off other properties with worse habitat. Not scientific but its what I have seen.
