I have hunted small game for many years, but recently got into deer hunting. I live in northern Indiana. It seems here that the buck/doe ratio is really out of whack. You see does ALL the time, but very few bucks.

Common since says that the ratio should be about the same if the does have fawns of 50% male / 50% female. I know that we haven't been able to take does here until recently, but still the ratio shouldn't be this bad.

Why is this?
