All I can say, is that in my specific hunting area WMU 5-D we have roughly a 10 doe to 1 buck ratio. This is WAY out of whack! I base this on first hand sightings, or lack there of. That's whywe have basically unlimited antlerless tags available. Much of this problem exists because there is VERY little public land to hunt, and the private land owners won't allow hunting for various reasons. Liability is probably the main reason, not so much that their anti hunting. Yet the deer continue to reproduce.
This being said, a lot of the problem is most hunters, given the chance, will take the first "legal" buck they see, instead of just taking a doe. Which is what needs to be done. Hence, the bad balance. When I hunt in Alberta, where there is virtually no hunting pressure, I see almost as many buck as doe. And on some days, I've seen more buck than doe. Food for thought, to say the least.Oh yea, forgot to mention, they have much more severe winters up there too.
