Buck to Doe Ratio on your hunt

[Tisoykeis]

Just curious what the buck to doe ratio was where you have hunted this year? In reading the DWR reports of Buck to Doe ratios around the state, they communicated an average of 20 Buck's for every 100 doe's statewide.

I know where I hunted in the Southeastern Unit, the ratio was more like 5 buck's to every 100 doe's. In the couple of days that I hunted last week, I probably saw 60-80 doe's, but only saw 3 small buck's. Just curious what hunters saw in other regions.

the southern unit I was on was around 20+ bucks per 100 does and most of the deer were good size bucks

the archer hunt on the front was closer to 15 bucks to 0 does I didnt see any does.

Archery is a year round commitment!!

By the way...I failed to mention in my post that I hunted the Utah Southeastern ML hunt. Just curious what the Buck to Doe ratio's were where you hunted.

I can't say that I have ever seen 20 Bucks per 100 Does, but you only need one right?

Counting buck to doe ratios during a hunt is no the same as during a survey. You will rarely if ever count anywhere near the number of bucks as compared to a survey (usually done from a helicopter).

Yep I know this is not accurate on a large scale since the 2 areas i hunt only include a few square miles but I will entertain it anyways.
On our Cali archery hunt it was about 40/60...saw a lot of bucks through out the week and was also impressed with the new fawn recruitment this year up there in Nor Cal.

In Arizona the area i hunt you simply wont see as many deer but from what I witnessed in 2 days of hunting was 6 bucks to 4 doe. But I was still impressed with the fresh sign...it looks like more n more deer are moving in to the area from the past 2 seasons

I was being serious. Last year when I had the No. Utah combo Elk/Deer tag, in 6 days of hunting (well 6 mornings) I saw a handful of small bucks, tons of Does, and only 2 Mature Bucks-one of which I killed.
