re: Question About Doe Harvest

I would just shoot until you get to the number you think you need to adequately thin out the does. Let the selection just naturally happen. I would shoot the older does if you can but sometimes that’s not possible. Also cull the old bucks not the young ones. Any yearling should be without spots now so they are fully weaned so I wouldn’t hesitate to take a doe with a yearling. Trouble with shooting does early is they all seem to have fawns so then you do have to be selective.

This. We will take a single doe without yearlings during bow season early but once rifle starts we only take does from the 2nd week in January until the end of the season depending on rut. Our rut is usually from the 2nd week in December until the end of the month if things are normal. We’ve seen instances of chasing as early as the end of bow season and we’ve seen them not be fully geared in the rut until mid January. But you’ve got to take your does each year regardless.
