Does Anyone EVER take their limit of Deer?

I was in a club (for one year) that had already decimated their herd to nearly nothing, due to people in the prior years trying to fill the 10 doe tags. Going by deer-per-square-mile, they had shot their capacity and were also shooting the neighbors deer that were passing through.
Back when I started seeing fawns all year long, something was wrong. Too many does, the bucks can't keep up.
I did in VA but I would donate them to Hunters for Humanity. Haven’t checked into that here in GA though.
I harvest five to six deer annually from various states. My family consumes venison year-round, eliminating our need to buy beef. For bucks, I currently prioritize a large body over the size of the rack.
I used to fill mine when I did doe patrol for a quail plantation back in the early to mid 2010’s.
My property that I own now is only 40 acres with just 20 or so of those being hardwoods.
For my situation with properties all around me shooting does I usually let mine walk.
If you don’t have much land I’d say probably don’t kill 10 on it but if you have 100 acres or more you should try to get close to 10 if not 10.
There are way too many does in general right now. I see already bred does as early as late September in Crisp Co and 30/40lb yearlings that still have spots.
The population is on the rise every year and is reportedly at around 1.3 million deer in the state.
If you don’t need the meat, myself and just about every other processor in the state take donations for the hungry.

I do but it’s for a man that grows plants for wholesale. I have plenty of people that want them
First year hunting deer I took 4 and the only reason I stopped that season was because of the processing fees… at $100 a deer, I quickly learned how to process my own the following year and stopped at 4 because the freezer filled up.
Once. Killed 13 that year. Both bucks, 11 does. After I was at 10 does, I pulled in my driveway one day and saw a doe that had been shot. Front leg barely hanging on. Called the local G dub and she gave me the green light.
