RE: Buck:Doe Ratio....How bad can it be?
Before i had trail cameras, i never saw bucks. Partly because i was young and dumb and not much of a good hunter, and because they are mostly nocturnal. Now after having cameras for 5 years, i would put the ratio at 2:1 or 3:1 in my area with plenty of food available. And if i include my sightings from stands last year alone, i would bet on a 2:1 ratio in my part of Medina county.
Alot of the hunters around me are not hesitating to take does now either, which helps greatly.
