RE: Is Harvesting Does Really the Right Thing to do?
With more does, there is less competition to breed, making bucks actually move less. I see this every year at home, in the UP. We have a buck to doe ratio of anywhere in the neighborhood or 10:1 to 25:1 in some areas. These bucks never even have to leave their home areas to find does to breed, plus you have every buck in that area breeding does, be in spikes or monsters. Two years ago, I had a button buck try to breed a doe because there were no other bucks around.
