When does outnumber bucks alot.. bucks don't have to go very far.
I realize that there is not one exact number that represents the "breaking point" and that it will vary somewhat from region to region, but what is condsidered the general number percentage wise or ratio wise that is considered by most biologists to be too many?

I estimate my areas to be a 1.8:3 buck to doe ratio (37.50% bucks) but this is just based on my observations and not scientific by no means. But for arguement sakes, lets say it is accurate. Is this a good number or should it be closer to 1:1?

Thanks
1.8:1 is not a bad ratio at all. Most areas of the country are closer to 4:1 or greater.

I bet you have some fun when you rattle jf.
