Default For those of you who keep a journal...??

For those of you who keep a journal.....how do you document buck sightings....as it relates to fawns? To be honest.....if it has spots....I'm not checking it out real close (although I have....to see if I can discern their sex).

In last year's bow journal.....I didn't count the animal as a buck unless it had visible protrusions....or a rack. For the sake of documenting the herd dynamics for our wildlife biologist, though.....I think it's only fair that we consider 50% of all fawns as buck fawns.

I'm not trying to pad the buck numbers in my area....I'm trying to project a realistic number....so as to more accurately discuss herd dynamics with the man that's giving me management information.

I'll check with him today.....but I was just wondering what you guys do.

Thanks, in advance, for your response(s).
