liberal limits on does in tn are killing the rut action and deer population
not to mention making the does a whole heck of alot smarter
less does = less breeding/rut time = less fawn recruitment= less deer overall
tn needs to look at this 3 doe a day limit and the effect it has had since 2008 and 2009
and the new biologist on ftcky needs a kick in the nads with earn a buck policy he came up with
once again
if you kill off way too many does
that = less rutting action and rutting time and also = less fawn recruitment
basic fuggin sense............................................
With fewer does, the rut you get will be a better/harder rut. There will be more competition for the does and better bucks will breed does and fewer cull bucks will breed them.
With an excess number of does, the rut isn't nearly as good. No competition for does. Bucks hookup and layup with a doe for a couple of days while she's hot. He'll try to move as little as possible with her to avoid other bucks. When done with her he will move to the next one who he won't have to search much for if there is a surplus of does.
With fewer does the bucks will move more and be more aggressive.
...but yes, there will likely be fewer deer if you kill more does.
