RE: Harvest Ratios
It really depends on your overall herd size, and the carrying capacity of your land. On our 1000 acres, we harvest an avg of 30 does each season, and about 6-8 bucks. So that comes out to about 4-5 does for each buck. For us that works well...but to begin with we had a way out of whack buck/doe ratio. There are still too many does and we' ve killed about 150 in the last 5 seasons. I wouldn' t hesitate to take at least 2-3 for every buck...probably more.
