I have had a standing offer to join a lease of 2,200 acres with only 9 members for the last three years. The main reason I have not done so is due to their doe killing rule. The club has everything I am looking for besides the idiotic rule of each member gets (1) doe only for the year. The doe can be killed by the member or his guest.

I have hunted this place several times a year for the last four years and always see deer. A typical sit includes seeing at least a dozen does and half a dozen bucks. The buck rule is it has to be 8 points or better.

I tell them each year that I will join that day if they get serious about killing the does. I am a firm believer in taking does.

Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?

Ditto. And one doe per membership on 2200 acres is moronic.


To OP, my uneducated opinion would be shoot waay more does and less bucks on 2000 acres. Obviously it depends where you are in the state, density, harvest goals, etc, but I would be hammering the does and cutting back on the young bucks.

That is if your goal is shooting big deer. If it’s more it’s-brown-it’s-down, then rock on
