Here we go again with people saying that you need to shoot lots of does to get trophy bucks. Bucks get to be trophys by not being shot when young. Cut and dried black and white. Handles you can push your buck to doe ratios all you want but in the farmland where I live and hunt when the deer herd was at it's peak (which was probably about 10 years ago I don't care what the dnr says) deer weren't starving and guys shot trophy bucks every year. You had to work for that trophy buck but they have ALWAYS been around. No matter what the ratio is they can't get big hanging on the meat pole!!
