Harvesting Does in Early Season Benefits the Herd and the Hunter

If you don’t remove a portion of the reproductive segment of your herd, once the herd reaches the carrying capacity of the land, your bucks and does can’t grow to their full potential each year.

Harvesting does at the beginning of bow season also helps the archer get more comfortable with having deer in close and making accurate shots.

The Birthday Hog Hunt with Only a Knife

For my birthday present one year, I didn’t get the usual jewelry, perfume, romantic dinner or tickets to a play many women like.

Now we’re seeing hunters in Washington State and Oregon planting green fields for blacktailed deer. We also have some hunters in the West planting green fields for mule deer.
