We have had these exact same cradles at my club in Fairfield County since I started hunting there as a kid 31 years ago. I didn’t know there was any other way to clean a deer.

We have "club-based" doe tags so I offer them to other guys who don't mind shooting does. Our neighbors think we don't kill enough does. Our neighbors think we kill too many young bucks. I don't know - we've done the same thing for three decades and it seems to be working and giving us the deer we want to hunt. I've probably got 25-30 young 8-points on camera with a few nicer mature deer and two that will easily make the book. Seems right for 900 acres.

I've listened to the intellectual arguments for thinning out does to the point where it's close to 1:1 buck doe ratio. But I like having an expanded "rut" with several "layers" of bucks chasing does over a 2-3 month period. With the weather in the lowcountry, I don't think a fawn born in April is at any advantage or disadvantage to one born in July.

You could've just said "I don't want to shoot does".

It was halftime in US v. Iran so I had a few extra minutes.

Gilbert represented!

Well, I don’t want to shoot doe either.

**Tater** · 11-29-2022, 08:06 PM

Then don’t.

I don't shoot every doe I see but I've damn sure shot a few.
95-100 lbs is about my favorite for eating.

In cotton and soybean country if you aren’t shooting does during the season they are rotting in the field in the off-season. I leave my feelings out of the deer killing and do my part managing the herd so more get eaten than rot. I also like to shoot a lot of deer, business has been good. I wish I had a picture of the 90lb heifer I shot the other afternoon, I had the crosshairs settled in on a heavy duty mailbox head and this one blew and foot stomped for no damn reason at all other than to be a bitch. Shifted to her and she won’t do that again.
