Our "GOAL" the past couple of years is to put more bucks on the ground. To help acheive this goal we have been targeting young does (fawns and yearlings) old/older does typically produce twins each year where as most young does produce single fawns. Having more twins means having more bucks.
The best way to control quality is the selective harvesting of bucks....which ones to take...which ones NOT to take. Harvesting a doe is the best way to control quantity NOT quality. Big difference.
A lot depends on the carrying capacity of the land.Last edited by RascalArms; 07-24-2013, 06:11 PM.
