No. I’m talking about the birthdate of bucks born in the herd.

The earlier bred does will drop earlier born bucks who’s overall growth, including antler development, will be ahead of bucks born as much as two months later for possibly several years.


All other things equal, preference is given to having fawns born earlier rather than later. Removing does from the herd prior to rut makes that more likely.

All that said, I really don’t give a hairy rats butt and there are a number of other factors that come into play.

I’ve killed does the last week of the season and probably will again.

The whole "don't shoot does off the green fields" is the biggest redneck BS ever. Bucks don't like big fields in daylight, period. I'll certainly agree that shooting a doe on a field won't help bring bucks to the open field, but the bucks don't want to go out there anyway.

Bucks stay off of fields on un huntable land also.

But all that theory shows, is the idiots that only hunt fields. Let them have their dumb rules.

If you want to routinely kill a decent buck, get off of the box stand on the green field and get into the woods hunting the trails.
