Though there is still a week of hunting left here in TN. we are pulling back the reigns and wrapping up the hunting here on the HITS farm. Generally we would do some Doe management hunts this time of year to shrink our Doe groups. Last year I started to question the common management suggestion that keeping our Doe groups down to 2-4 Does per group would result in seeing more bucks cruising during the rut. Considering the farm is only 255 acres and holds lots of Does , my belief was that keeping my groups of Does small was in fact causing bucks to roam more on neighboring farms to find Does while rutting. I limited our Doe harvest this past year and the amount of bucks we held on the farm during the rut was higher than years past and we managed to kill some nice deer and pass on lots of deer. Dont be afraid to go against what the so called experts tell you is proper management. Draw from your own experience and try things you feel will help in your particular situation on your farm.
