RE: Proper buck to doe ratio?
I agree with you treedweller. In MN the DNR has their eyes on money not management. I pay $78 for one resident liscence (it does allow me to hunt across the state) and they have a multi sone buck tag only too. I love shooting mature bucks, but would be willing to only do it every other year if it meant more good bucks around.
It is just so frustrating seeing so many deer and no bucks, yet you watch these hunting shows and 4-6 mature bucks walk bye, it is sickening!
