No that’s to get to below CC, if you only have does that are 2,4,6 you are 5 years into your flop, this is all assuming you have the tag numbers, and you know your heard numbers and ration begs to greatly reduce the number. You are still killing does on years you aren’t on the doe fawn flop.

Once at CC you can still do the doe fawn flop but the intervals would be extended out more,

Ive never read the research but im with Quit on “few” fawns breeding and being good mommas. “Some” will breed, “some” of those will carry to term, “some” of those will make it past the coyotes. That small original number keeps getting even smaller until very few will be recruited into the herd as past their own birthday. Maybe it’s different on properties that are intensively managed but I always feel that the number of those places are very “few”. Just my opinion.

How do you know it’s rare unless you are killing late season Yearlings?

Many moons ago, we were on a mission to kill a bunch of does. I screwed up and killed two button bucks in the same morning hunt. Three of us, including the ranch owner, loaded them up in the bed of the truck. We all thought they were does until we actually got them up on the gambrel and started cutting. I felt awful about it, and still do...and, yes, I still get ribbed about it. Fortunately, the ranch owner (who is one of my best friends and has many more years of hunting experience than me) didn't fine me or send me packing. Instead, he used it as a teaching moment and provided some tips on how to avoid making that mistake in the future. I learned from it, and it's never happened again.

I have a lot more experience these days, but I continue to learn from him, and our friendship will remain intact until we're both gone from this earth. That's what hunting should be about, in my opinion.

They are few, that was my very first post, most people don’t have the acreage or tags, much less the stomach. But if you want to lower does numbers exponentially take out bottom age class,

But like any policy there needs to be hard data to make rules make sense. If you are limited on doe numbers then try to take top age class to encourage more multi year recruitment from the younger ages.

I can’t understand why people shoot young deer, I see nice young upcoming bucks every year, I will see them every time I go and, then they are gone never seen again.
I believe most parts of the state will grow trophy deer if they can get the age on them.

Prove it. I provided links. Every herd is different, but prove it's minuscule. You even said does won't produce for TWO YEARS. That is patently false, even if they don't breed at 6-8 months. You can bet your bottom dollar they'll breed at 18 months (yearlings).
