here in southern indiana its normal to go out spotlighting and see 200 deer, with only 5-10 being bucks. A guy with the DNR told me that they determine the ratio with the number of buck/doe kills each year...and that the ratio is about 50/50... YEAH RIGHT! I complained about the buck/doe ratio last year and they have since changed the bag limits on the doe population. FOR EXAMPLE: in Vanderburgh county you are allowed 4 doe tags PLUS 4 bonus antlerless tags. This means that you are allowed to take 8 does in that county. I know its urban reduction, but that seems to be about what its going to take for any equality in the ratio to be fixed. Here in perry county we are allowed to take 2 does and 1 buck. a few years back we could only harvest a doe during the last 4 days of the season. Maybe they are starting to realize that the number of does are outnumbering the buck by a large number. If you dont believe it, go spotlighting and count them. you will see 100 doe to 5-10 bucks... so the ratio is more like 1/10. just try it sometime... SPOTLIGHTING IS LEGAL IN INDIANA.
