There may be deer left in pockets, which there are. There are still deer around the place and yours, but in much lower numbers...no one on here is saying there arnt deer...the problem lays in the declining numbers, which I agree is what the DNR wants... we as a group were 'prolly spoiled back in the mid 2000's/late 90's with the numbers and the maturity of the deer present....those who have large tracks of land or combined land can more or less control what they have, high antlerless tags or not. When you start to get into the smaller tracks that we have around us(N. Porter Co) it is harder to do that unless the neighbors agree to a management program. There are those who are now realizing there isnt an infinite number of deer and we cant continue to shoot does at whim, esp if neighbors shoot a high number also. Ive said it before, for every Doe killed, 3 are killed(the Doe and possibly two offspring). Does generally drop on a 1:1 ratio, 1 buck, 1 female. They are considered part of the "herd" when they are recruited. Recruitment is the number of fawns per adult Doe alive come the prefall hunt dates...basically, it is the number of fawns making it to 6 months of age... Now, not all fawns will make it, this we know. But when more and more does are being taken and then combine natural mortality, it becomes clear there will be less deer for us hunters.....all I can say for myself and my buddy is that we are voluntarily backing off the does and I would hope others would do the same...take what you need, but dont go overboard....
