Im for a deer ratio of 1 to 1 Not one buck. to one doe though in a sguare mile. More like 15 nuck to 15 doe in a square mile. And then give them a food feast of crops. You dont have to kill all the does to get a 1 on 1 ratio.Just bring up the buck herd to meet the doe pops. then keep them at a level that is comfortable.
