[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5707537, member: 2805"] In the real.world, 1.5 to 2 is what you want. Get to a 1:1 ratio, and you will lose so many bucks from fighting/ injuries, they will self regulate down to a 1:2 ratio. You don't have more than 1:1 in the long run. You just don't have the best summer habitat. In other words, the does aren't on your place right now because they have a better place to rear fawns. The bucks get the leftovers. Once the rut starts, the bucks are going to the best habitat where the does are right now. Everybody stresses about about having 'too many does'... thats only a problem if you arent providing more food than the herd needs. Doe harvest needs to fluctuate wildly based on forage conditions and reproduction rates. 2y ago does were off limits. This year, we will probably kill 20. [/QUOTE]
