Anyone ever had a property where the does are so plentiful that not all are being bred at all and when they are they’re dropping fawns from mid May to late July?
I’m dealing with that right now on my home property and the neighbors that I have gotten 3 total bucks on cameras that I run year round in 15 months or surveys.
I know typically folks say lots of does makes a good rut but what if the does I do have are taking 3 months to be bred and some not at all?
My plan is to kill several for the freezer but what are other ways to promote a balanced herd?
Could killing 4-5 does this year and then a few more next year make room for more bucks and get the carrying capacity back to normal?
Just wanting yalls take on this since I’ve never had a problem of too many deer before lol
