IMHO the shooting of a few does isn't the big problem, the problem is the increased population of coyotes that kill close to 70% of the fawns that are born. I havn't shot a doe in 4 years.
I agree with this. We are still killing a few does, but don't seem to have the numbers of deer we used to have; however coyote sign is everywhere. We have also noticed an absence of rabbits and armadillos.
