1.What's the herd dynamics where you hunt (doe v. buck numbers & overall deer numbers)? Overall deer numbers are VERY high. Too high. Buckoe Ratio isn’t ideal, but its not grossly out of whack.

2. What's your preferred method of hunting (your ideology)? Trophy, only? "Opportunist" (take bucks and does)? Does, only....with the occasional buck? I am a hammer the does type of guy, and shoot a buck only if it’s a nice one. (“Trophy” to some)

3. What would be your preferred method if you had a good herd structure (buck:doe ratio was good....and deer numbers were in check)? The same. I can’t[/b] get enough doe tags to deplete(or seriously affect) my areas population, so I would still shoot as many as I had tags for. If my herd had a larger population of mature bucks, I MAY get a little pickier on buck size, but as it stands, any mature looking nice size (P&Y) buck is fair game. [/b]

4. Doesyour herd dynamics affect your preferred method? Do you overlook herd dynamics and hunt "your" way? No they seem to go hand in hand. [/b][/b]
