re: Whats the boards opinion of doe cutoff dates.

On 2000 acres only shooting 5 does to 13 bucks is insane. For proper management you should be closer to 50/50 almost always unless you had a big kill off or something.

I agree shooting does earlier is better but I don’t think it’s anything to sweat.

If you have that big of land, you should absolutely be doing something like no bucks until everyone’s killed a doe AND potentially have a method of giving your does away. The problem on larger clubs is you get multiple guys that don’t want the meat, and never shoot anything but bucks. You need to force them to shoot them and not waste the meat. Then as said, have a rule of 1 for per buck or something along those lines.

Heck OP, maybe have a youth weekend for a Church or something to hammer does only. Make it a non profit fundraiser or something for $50/ doe. Hammer 15 or 20 early on.
