RE: 10 to 1 buck to doe ratio!!
I've had 18 "hunts", this year, so far (morning/evening being broken up into 2 hunts).
I've seen 96 deer......with only 4 of them being antlered deer (that I could discern). I've had 58 of those deer within bow range (which, for me....is really close!). Now....I know I'm seeing a lot of the same does on numerous sittings.....and I also know a lot of these deer have been buttons or spikes that I couldn't discern at (whatever) a distance.....but I think you see that the bucks in my area aren't dummies.
Come late Novemeber.....(or whenever I fill my other buck tag).....there will be a few less does in my woods.
