I actually think it is because of the buck to doe ratio where I live. I'm in the woods constantly during hunting season and I couldn't even imagine coming up with a number to describe how many does I see during the rut by themselves(meaning not being followed or chased by a buck). I'm talking groups of 5-10 does, yearlings included, hanging around for good amounts of time and nothing coming in to check them. Happens dozens of times during the season. I also see lots of does without fawns, and quite a few single fawns also. D&DH is a awesome mag. Tons of useful info.
