Default RE: Harvest Ratios

1:2 is a good target.

On 1000 acres - you should be harvesting 4-6 does per year with a population of 30-40 deer per square mile and adequate food. - More if the buck: doe population is out of whack.

When assessing doe populations - Be sure not to count fawns - Only does older than 1-1/2 yrs.
