Im Leaving the doe alone on my property trying to build up the herd in my area. Ive got about 25 resident deer now and hope to keep it growing. There are a lot of hunters all around my property that kill every deer that jumps the fence and that is their right to do so but This is the 4th year now for laying off doe and its paying off. h.h.
I have not been shooting does for years HH. And yes, it has helped a little. The Amish neighbors do a good enough job of keeping the doe population down. Saturday was a fiasco with the neighbors, and their apparent need to shoot across the fence to our place, where the deer hang out. I do not pressure them on our place and they STAY there for the most part, but the neighbors see them there, and can't stand it.
At 10 till 7:00 on opening morning, I hear tap,tap,tap….several times, then I hear that unmistakable creaking of fence wire…..I didn't put 2 and 2 together until I got out of my stand at noon to go switch grain trucks for my BIL. This is what I seen:

Yep, RIGHT on the fence line. Its on the property they can hunt, but they bent the top of the fence over so they could shoot through the blind over the fence….toward our woods….directly in line with where I am sitting!!!! This is not their property, just are hunting it. I would have never suspected that, as i know where their stand locations are….too far to shoot to our fields. And that is the "double corner posts" where a lot of coyotes have met their demise over the years!!!
