Buck to Doe Ratio
« on: Yesterday at 03:30:01 PM »
Wondering what people think about the ratio this year. I had some days when I saw over 30 does and some small but illegal bucks, and it made me think maybe there are just less bucks this year.   :dunno:

for my spot in GMU 133, it appears there are significantly more bucks this year. Lots more distinct bucks on my game cameras than in years past.  Whitetail population is waaaaayyyy down.
Introduce someone new to hunting this year.

I have seen some areas have more buck then doe also.
No doe tags around me ,so predations ,human and animal variety.
Is my thinking,not sure ,just what I figured.

I hunted westside public land last weekend during the storm and saw two does, but three bucks- which is a solid ratio.

Maybe it was due to the storm but I’ve never seen more bucks in one day than does

We've hunted several 500 units and have been out a ton this year.  Seeing on average 20 does and 1 or 2 spikes a trip.  I've seen 2 what I consider good bucks in probably 12 trips out.
