[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5707526, member: 20583"] As I understand it a perfect ratio is 1:1 or 1.5:1 That said I think it's really property specific. Case in point, if a "herd" inhabits several thousand contiguous acres then how many property lines does that encompass? My little 100 acre chunk is a minuscule snapshot of the bigger picture, like trying to determine what a puzzle depicts by looking at just one piece. For the vast majority of the year bucks & does are segregated by sex, sometimes age class as well. If my property is preferred buck bedding then bucks are what I'm going to see the most of and I'll think the herd sex ratio is skewed toward bucks. My neighbor might have great doe habitat so he thinks the sex ratio is skewed toward does. In reality it's all the same herd so to know the sex ratio we'd have to factor in what everybody in the entire region is seeing. Usually nature does a pretty solid job at keeping the sex ratio balanced, IMO. [/QUOTE]
