I can't really understand this but from what I can, if you want to have less deer, a buck that shed his antlers isn't the way to go. A buck will be one deer this year and one deer next year. One doe this year will likely be a doe and one or two fawns next year. If you want to thin out your herd, you shouldn't be shooting bucks, you need to shoot more does. Save the antleress tags for does and you'll be helping the population more than shooting bucks.
Are there places that really still have 50 deer per square mile in Central Wisconsin. I'm just curious, I heard that with all the tags they issued for CDW for years it really brought the herd down to almost nothing.
