RE: Buck to doe ratio question
1) How many times have you hunted?
2) How clean are you (scent-free)?
3) Are you hunting in the right spots?
4) How often are you hunting a particular tree? Area?
5) Are you varying your entrance/exit routes?
I don't need to know the answer to these questions. I just put up there what "I" would be thinking about if "I" wasn't seeing bucks.
If you have a large herd of does.....that's also where I'd want to be hunting, right now. If you'll hunt the does, all season.....the bucks will come to you AT SOME POINT. I simply hunt where I KNOW the does are going to be (because I scouted THEM).....and the bucks seem to have lovin on their minds at some point. I didn't start seeing a good number of bucks until well into the season.
