For Any Haters Out There! This is the View the Farmer, Trying to Make a Living Gets to See Every Evening. That's Just One Spot on the Farm.
That's one reason us as hunters need to do a better job of taking does instead of just hunting for bucks in high deer density areas. The farmers will push for other methods if we can't handle it. Immunocontraceptive vaccines are going to take our place if we don't. Then, they won't need hunting, and we won't have many to hunt either.
 
LAKY is correct, If we as hunters won't take our limit of does along w/your buck for the year, someone else is going to do it for us. Shoot some jerky queens and donate them if you don't want em. I have (8) farms that are in the same predicament. The DNR sent snipers out @ night and shot 16. That didn't help a lot.

I remember quite a few years ago I was invited by a friend of a friend to join him for a rut hunt on his property in southern Illinois. The host didn't live there either as it was his parent's property that had passed to him. He leased the land to a local farmer to grow crops on the tillable portion. We were camping there in an area shielded from the wind by hay bales. In the evenings we'd sit around the campfire and enjoy a couple of adult beverages. Often we were joined by the farmer and his brother who owned the local auto collision repair shop.

From a hunter's perspective it was funny to sit there listen to those brothers argue back and forth on how we should be approaching our hunts. The farmer was advocating shooting anything brown, if you weren't happy with it, leave it and pick another. To him the deer were just huge brown rats. The brother on the other hand was doing his best to convince us to only target the trophies and let the does and little ones walk. He saw each deer as a potential car/deer accident with a big insurance repair bill.

Just goes to show it all depends on perspective.;) :tearsofjoy:
