Two years in a row a doe with twins were killed crossing highway by my house. The fawns this year weren’t any bigger than normal house cat. Could have put both in a Walmart bag and not been crowded. This was probably three weeks ago now.
Our home security cams have cams looking at cams to prevent that.
See about a DMAP program from the ODW.
September spotlight surveys to see how many deer are on the property, then an ODW wildlife biologist will determine how many need be removed from the area.
It's not an overnight project. It takes years to bring the buck to doe ratio down. I've been on one for over 20 years. After gun season, does can be taken by any means until the quota has been met, and it must be met.
We never have an issue with giving the excess animals away.
The ODW will first recommend opening up the property for doe hunters, but if your isolated like it appears you are, they might come around and let the program start.
With the crap we’ve had to deal with from just poachers and trespassers I highly doubt anyone would get on our place without my dad or myself escorting them. I’ll definitely rewatch out and see what I can do, though.
I have never captured an owl before, until this week's camera card pull. I also have another video with owls in it.
Don't you wish you had this much energy?
That young buck just sucked on his first tittie!
This buck is coming along nicely, but I don’t know that he will be a shooter this year. At least not for me, but I bet my daughters wouldn’t pass him up.
What do you think? Only a 3 1/2 year old, or maybe 4 1/2?

To early to tell IMO unless you are brown its down.
