Default RE: Proper buck to doe ratio?

my state is pretty bad...took me 4 years to get my first buck....seen about 50 deer or so while hunting them and none that i know were bucks...i did see 1 but he was running and me or dad couldnt shoot becuase we would killed some guy in a treestand in the line of fire...safe thinkin on our part...but i finally got my first buck last year.....now our state has antler restrictions and we are doing alot of doe reduction trying to fix it....this is the second year for ARs..about 5th for herd reductions...it started slow but now we are taking alot more does...i hope it works...shooting does is fun and we pack the freezer but a nice set of antlers is nice...PAs buck to doe is probally around 15-20 doe to 1 buck id guess....who knows for sure....it would be nice to see a study done and give all the cry babys a few facts on why we need these changes they cry about....maybe it was done and i missed it....who knows perfect..i think 2 does to a buck would be good....5 doe to a buck would be more realistic and still be pretty good....
