  I  arrowed a bunch 3 and 4 year old doe's. I also killed a 7 1/2 and a 8 1/2 year old. That 81/2 was killed with a stone point at 6,7 yards. She came to a fawn call.  She was really poor I could see all her ribs.

With that many deer around you...you are blessed.How do you account for that?Habitat?
Personally here I like to see about 8 to 10 does around me here to have fawns.Knowing they'll stay here through the summer and in the fall  there will be some bucks looking for them to shoot at.I watch the fawns run around here with their moms.I've come up on many a fawn bedded down.Even petted them.Kinda cool.My girlfriend likes to take pics.

Funny thread cooking here. It seems we have a biologist or two in our midst.

BowEd:

   Beadman my granddady was a naturalist. And I've been called that a few times. Beadman as soon as I rent,lease,live on or what ever farm or peice of land I get. I do 3 things (1) I stop shooting any bucks that's not 3 1/2 or older. (2) I make lay out snakurys, buck bedding areas.  Inhance (FOOD AND THICKEN) bedding areas add minterals add everything a buck that are need in his bedding arer.3) Get a number of deer you have on your probertyand the number of doe's that have to die. If I let you hunt you shoot no fawns period. It could be a button buck I might kill  5 or 6 years from now.

  I never go in the sunkerys period. Bucks learn real fast when and where there safe.  Sankurys and bedding areas are the heart and soul to my buck hunting. 90% Of my buck hunting is hunting bedding areas in the evening.

  That last 20 min's. Is my time I'll bet you I've arrow 25 ish bucks at O DARK 30. Those last 20 min's. I also let a few walk in the dark

  I hunt evening at bedding areas. Why (1)
you already know where he's at ( you have a know place to start from). Not hard to figger out where he's going. DOE'S OR FOOD  You just have to set up with the wind at right time of the rut. Also set up close enough to him so he'll get to you in the daylight.

  Add a 1000 other that might help you get a shot off if your lucky.

  I START A MANAGMENT PLAN FOR THAN LAND. And I stick with it. I'm a firm beleiver in inhanceing (food,water)whats already there. No need to plan food plots when there's corn,beans,alfa on 3 sides of me.
