Why do some folks encourage no doe harvest,
They remember the days when you took a picture of a hoof print. That, or they can't get over the thought that does produce bucks. I had a conversation with one of these people in Avoyelles that I wish I had recorded.

this is the truth...I remember growing up in cenla when I would sit on the edge of bean fields all season long just hoping to see one deer...

when folks finally started to get conservation-minded, the obvious place to start was by not shooting does...the thinking was that one buck can (and does) breed with a lot of does, so there is not a 1:1 relationship...but if you kill a doe, there is certainty that she will not produce a fawn...

right or wrong, that was the thought process...
