You all have good points, but is it possible that you will have a better chance to shoot a mature buck if there are more does for it to chase?
No just the opposite, they all compete for food. No competiton means no chasing, fighting etc...in a natural herd, the bucks to doe ratio are about even, that's unheard of in many states today. Look at PA, too many does in the past, over harvest of young bucks made this state a small buck state majority speaking. Now, our state is finally producing more and more large bucks, the doe herd is down, imagine that.
