The one thing I feel that would really help is by removing the stigma our fathers and grandfathers imbedded in us all
about harvesting does. At that time it was right thinking in order to build up the herd population, now that's not the case. As long as hunters feel it is somehow wrong to harvest does , the small bucks will continue to be harvested at an early age removing any possibility of passing genetics on. I feel this issue needs to be addressed before we start to see any real change in the way we think about this and to pass on the genetics that are being lost.
