Your 2018-2019 DOE harvest poll

This is for FEMALE deer only, not "antlerless".   Separate poll coming for antlerless males.

LOL - you must be the "eight". I know you definitely put a hurting on them and know what you were really after.  That park won't be over-browsed anymore thanks to your efforts

haven't had the need to shoot any doe i have been lucky enough to get some road kills last couple years.  being someone who doesn't  like to see them go to waste i usually grab them if no one wants them.....

Shot 2 this year. Doe numbers seem to be doing good by me. A few years ago you'd have 10-15 does a sit with no bucks. Had to pop more than I'm use to but last year I couldn't buy an EAB. Had nothing but bucks walking around. Seems now the ratio is doing pretty good.

1st season in probably over 18 years I didnt shoot a single doe. Usually I shoot 2 or3 does. This year I had a hard time getting my EAB within recurve range. Saw nothing but bucks all sept.
Then I only had does come close while I had a gun or compound and didnt want to waste my doe harvest with those weapons. Wanted to take one with my recurve. But that didnt happen and I dont want to shoot a pregnant doe so I guess that's all she wrote for 2018/19.

This year 5. Didnt even put a dent in the doe population in my area. Donated 1 to HHH and three to a friends gun club for their game dinner.

Three.  An landowners were nearly begging for me to shoot triple that.  Lots of deer this year.

And the old lady got one.   

I can't wait till the "antlerless" poll comes out!

I can only see three reasons to shoot more than four deer a year.

1.  You are struggling to feed your family

2.  You are hunting in an area where you are REQUIRED to shoot does in order to have permission to hunt the area.

3.  Your are a farmer and trying to reduce the overall population of deer due to crop damage.

 

Other  than those three reasons it is my humble opinion that you SHOOT TO MANY DEER FOR THE WRONG REASON !

I shot only 1 and normally only shoot 1 or none depending what area I am hunting
