One buck can breed many does in a single season. Harvest pressure must be on female deer if herd control is desired. Recruit Effective Hunters Invite hunters who are safe, depend-able and capable. Landowners typically manage hunting opportunities on their land to maximize the enjoyment of their family and friends. This need not change.
Hunters can be family, friends or reliable new acquaintances.
Remember, their efforts will determine the success or failure of the hunting program. Require hunters to apply for an any-deer permit or antlerless deer permit. Although application dates vary, hunters who wish to use firearms or muzzleloaders usually apply for permits between June 15 and July 15 each year. You can help by reminding them of the application period and providing them with applications. Specify that hunters with an any-deer permit harvest antlerless deer.
