After killing more does, Deer body weights went up.

You only have X amount of food/ browse.

After a couple years it went from average 75# does to around 100# with 120# being killed.


Kill does. Eating machines.





The guys that won't shoot does are a peculiar lot - particularly when deer are abundant (or over-abundant).
