Where can I shoot lots of does for cheap

[littlewolf]

I just want to get some meat and enjoy the whitetail woods, maybe take a trip with my son in the next couple years and get him on some deer. I know everyone's managing for big bucks, surely there's some places where they want to thin the doe population later in the season. Any leads/ ideas? thx

Hard to beat Texas for numbers. We used to do a hill country hunt during Dec and catch the 2nd rut. Not the biggest deer but man there were tons of em. Turkeys, pigs, deer - it was the most target rich hunting I have ever experienced.

Various private schools in rural Alabama will host hunts as fundraisers. Seems the going rate is around $1000 for 2-3 days. Usually allowed one buck and two does.

Maybe not as cheap as others, but I picked up 4 whitetail doe tags for $32 each to hunt WY as a NR.

I was going to say Tennessee there are some wmas that have special regs for does. 4 per day don't go against your tags. Or at least they did last time I went 5 years ago.


Anywhere in the south is going to have generous tags. We have friends that come down from Alaska almost every year and take plenty of whitetail home with them

Tennessee has never been 4 does a day.

Michigan. You can buy up to 10 doe tags over the counter. High deer densities

Do you do public or get access to private? I'm assuming the season is late ?

I hunt our family ranch. Season runs mid Oct - mid Nov. There are some other units that have even longer seasons, but I just stick to what I know and what’s easy haha.

Here’s a link to the leftover tags. Find doe/fawn whitetail and you’ll see which units and how many are still available.
