Im a little curious about this as well. We signed on to a new lease this year near the Texas panhandle. We haven' t seen a single buck so far. We actually ran into the previous leasors and they said the hunting was great . . . there are a ton of animals roaming around the place . . and we have seen quite a bit, Im just a little worried about the buck population.

Of the 20 or so deer we' ve seen so far . . . about 6 or 8 of them have been fawns with the rest being doe. The gentleman who manages our lease hunts in a field not too far away . . and is always talking about how everyone is trying to concentrate on only taking quality deer.

Im just curious what ratio I should be seeing (of course assuming it should be higher than 100/0). Just curious if we need to concentrate on lowering the doe numbers for this year (we are planning on keeping the property for several years and would like to practice QDM).

Any help would be appreciated.
