That seems to be the go to. You need a 1 to 1 buck to doe ratio. What other antlered animal do they push that for? Elk, Moose, Big Horn Sheep, antelope? I have never heard it if they have. But whitetail deer, kill all the doe's if you want big bucks


I think you grossly misunderstand a biologist if you think they say shoot all the does if you want big bucks. I’ve talked to several employed by the state and several not employed by the state and I have never heard any of them say that.
