You should draw easily!New to all this...NR and applied to 13 A and B with two points. Are those good units?
They reduced the 12w early tag to 375 tags this year, a far cry from 500 three years ago. Last two years it was reduced to 450. That’s leaving a lot of bucks on the ground for the future in 12. No if would just damn rain in az, please and thanks. 2 inches this week would be nice..... it’s make or break time right now.

It boggles my mind that she would think killing does was a good way to increase the buck to doe ratio. It's actually freakin retarded.Used to be a couple thousand doe tags available as well (several years). Spoke to the biologist may years ago and she was trying to increase the buck to doe ratio. Unfortunately, that also meant reducing the overall heard numbers as well. Been hunting there since the 90's and , end result, ...I see far fewer deer and far fewer bucks. Still one of my favorite places to hunt though.
Are you sure about the first part?Easy math....1000 deer, 300 bucks, 700 does. ratio is 30/100
Kill 400 does (yay) ratio acheived....100 bucks per 100 does
ratio is all it solves, but dooms the herd.....yes a dumb idea....hilarious at that
In the real world of math, the ratios for your examples would be stated as 2.3:1 (or rounded to 2:1)& 1:1. And reducing the doe population to increase the doe-to-buck ratio isn't always a detriment to herd dynamics.Tony,
My flawed math is a result of not being able to type and think at the same time- you caught that one fast....nice catch
This should have read..."to DEcrease the doe-to-buck ratio.." or "to increase the buck-to-doe ratio...."In the real world of math, the ratios for your examples would be stated as 2.3:1 (or rounded to 2:1)& 1:1.

In a place like the Kaibab, I could see needing to harvest some doe's because the overall population is high.In the real world of math, the ratios for your examples would be stated as 2.3:1 (or rounded to 2:1)& 1:1.

Yup. Sometimes drastically culling does in a way high doe-to-buck situation helps both the habitat, the well-being of the bucks already in the population and the health aspects of future fawn recruitment.In a place like the Kaibab, I could see needing to harvest some doe's because the overall population is high.
What I normally encounter online is guys wanting doe hunts in AZ because they aren't seeing enough bucks. As if harvesting doe's is going to magically make bucks appear.
