[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5860702, member: 20583"] My take from the article is that more bucks are being killed than does, that to correct trajectory each hunter when appropriate should take a doe for every buck they take. Seeing as how nature produces bucks and does at very near equal ratio, it's logical that killing in the same equal ratio is a good place to start in keeping a balanced herd. However, as much as CWD was mentioned in the article and as hard as the author was chastising hunters for not killing enough does, I got the feeling the article was a shill for the CWD kill everything solution. It even praised the states that were killing more does than bucks and attributing it to those states being big buck states. Doe population has nothing to do with Iowa and Ohio having big bucks. And no matter how many does TN kills we aren't going to produce booners en masse like those states. So while I agree somewhat with the logic that kill ratios should generally be equal, I find the article overall to be an insult to my intelligence. If I want to be preached at I'll go to church. NDA missed the mark on this one for me. [/QUOTE]
