I say the reasons we are busted more often by does is simple. How many more does than bucks do we see every year? I can't speak for everyone, but I saw litterally hundreds of does last year, and I can count the bucks I saw on one hand. Didn't get busted by a single buck, but I was busted plenty by does. Obviously.

I also agree that the bucks, even at a 1:1 ratio would be harder to kill. It's just darn hard to kill something that don't move much till the sun goes down. Bucks are, IMHO, simply more nocturnal. Not much we can do about that.

You know, I just realized something. I've killed, oh, I don't know how many does, but I've ever only killed one buck. And that was w/ a rifle, so what the hell do I know? ........[&:][&o][&o][&o]
