Vtrulrss,
That state biologist may know what isn' t possible in Virginia may not be the case elsewhere. A few years ago on my small acreage, I had 3 doe groups totalling at leat 18. I harvested one buck and saw only 2 others. During the rut, the does left my timber and went to the bucks on other areas. That made my ratio 1-6. I estimate a ratio now of about 1-4 which is still high.
