RE: What is the optimum buck/doe ratio?
Management of White-Tailed deer on South Texas Ranges
"Since the desirable unit in a deer herd is the buck, quality deer management programs strive for a 1 buck to 1 doe ratio........ A 20% buck harvest in a herd with special emphasis placed on spikes, management deer (inferior deer), and mature deer........... This allows better antlered matue bucks to do the majority of the breeding."

I just did a little more digging to reinforce my point.
