And if youdeer haterswould quit killing all the does the bucks would not have to work so hard at getting some.
We have unlimited (for the most part) doe tags in this state on private land.

Still.....we killed over TWENTY THOUSAND MORE male deer than female deer, last year. You're either part of the solution....or you're part of the problem. If you're not killing does, here, you're part of the problem.

And that's (one thing)what makes it tough on the bucks, here. They work their asses off (especially the young ones). The older guys know the ropes a little more. The younger ones don't. They waste a LOT of energy.
What kills more of your deer, cars or hunters? With no winter mortality I'd bet cars.
I think what he is trying to say what is the ratio of buck to does hit by a car. Because a car don't care like someone just looking for a big buck. And if it is similar then thats what ratio you have in the wild most likely. I could be wrong. To me deer car accidents would be a useful tool to see what the Buck to Doe ratio is. If you studied it for several years and a pattern showed up it would be right on because the car has no choose in the matter it just hits whatever jumps in front of it.
Thank you ,Steve.
