Do they feel bad for the buck? I'm having trouble understanding this one. Every doe in the woods is gonna get bred by something, eventually.


Well you can look at dominant buck VS desirable buck. Studies have shown that does will actually seek out the best bucks. They aren't just sluts waiting on a dick. They want the one with the big rack and great genes. Chances are, your earliest bred does are gonna get bred by your best bucks ( based on the research). Also, if a buck has 3 hot does in a field, he will pick the best one. So you best deer are likely bred first. If you shoot those does after being bred ( you don't know if she is or not) then you possibly killed the cream of the crop. Sure, he'll just breed another but for the 4 days he was locked down with her, he wasted that time and a lesser quality buck way out getting a shot.

Understand im just playing devils advocate here and trying to think of the best ways to improve

True, but like you pointed out, when you pull the trigger you have no clue if you are shooting a bred doe with a good bucks sperm already inside her, a bred doe with a shitty bucks sperm already inside her, an unbred doe thats about to take the dominated bucks dick, or an unbred doe thats about to take ol retarded bucks dick


Its all an unknown when the trigger is pulled so I am failing to see when shooting them matters from a biological herd standpoint.

Point taken, I just think that all hinges on dominant and genetically superior being the same deer. I don’t think that’s really the case. Does don’t have a measuring tape or understand deductions. In most populations the genetics are gonna be pretty evenly distributed unless someone has shipped in genetics and wants to encourage that specific deer to breed every doe. Outside a pen I think that’s pissing in the wind.
