Am I the only one that's surprised at the buck:doe ratio being killed? I figured 3 does/buck.

Am I the only one that's surprised at the buck:doe ratio being killed? I figured 3 does/buck. People aren’t shooting nearly as many does these days as we were a decade ago. Maybe it’s a mentality change……If you would have asked this question 10-15 years ago then I guarantee you there would be a lot more people answering with “I killed 8 does!”……”I killed 6!”…..and you would have a couple that killed 10+. Right now out of over 300 hunters…..Matt is really the one and only outlier with 8 does. The vast majority of folks are killing one or two. I haven’t kept up with this number but just guessing I’d say that 40% of the responders said zero does.

Ok, So I was bored since I could not go out hunting. Took the harvest info from Monday Feb. 12 (it has gone up by 23 as of today) and put them on a map. here is the map and spreadsheet in a pdf format for you all to review and use. Also have put the 2017/2018 forecast up for comparison as well to compare what was forecasted and what happened.. I tried to stay in the lines as best I could, but you know how that goes....especially after a tasty beverage or two!! I might try scanning it at a higher resolution as it is a bit grainy, will update once done. Enjoy and I am sure there will be a comment or two!! ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/nDeBC2v.png) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/XcTP84m.png) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/o0z90bt.png)

How many hunters? Technically for everyone's club info to be accurate it would mean that no members killed deer other than the ones they killed at the hunting club. This is just for fun though so it's all good...... 14

It looks like the votes are starting to dwindle down now. Unless we get a lot more then then numbers likely won’t change much from what we currently have……
Bucks killed per hunter – 0.84
Does killed per hunter – 0.70
Now it’s like PCP was saying to begin with……We have to have some kind of accurate estimate of the number of hunters in the wood to get a total kill. That’s probably gonna be a real crap shoot. One thing you might could do though...... that a forum survey may be accurate enough to show.... is long term trends. If you did a survey like this every year and then compared the numbers over time.....you could likely still see that folks are shooting less deer, more deer…..less does, more does, etc……general tendencies.
Something I would like to see from the GC numbers is the total number of hunters that reported deer. It would be cool to see it county by county.

Am I the only one that's surprised at the buck:doe ratio being killed? I figured 3 does/buck. It's because there's not 3 does per buck left to kill in a lot if not most areas of the state. That's why we always have the conversation about our population being substantially lower each year. A long time ago, we were on the DMAP and really did need to kill the does. We were very protective on our bucks. After 4 years of hammering our does, it was easier to see rack bucks in our greenfields than it was to see does. We totally reversed it. Instead of seeing 5 or 6 does in a plot and the occasional buck, we were seeing 5-6 bucks and the occasional doe. Does get smart too.

Here’s the hunter survey information for 2015-16 as well as a chart showing previous years……. http://www.outdooralabama.com/sites...labama%20Hunting%20Survey%20Report_0.pdfGoing by what they’re showing…….We should have approx. 190,000 deer hunters if there hasn’t been any drastic changes compared to the last five years. If we use that number along with our average kill % then that gives us…….. 159,000 bucks killed 133,000 does killed Total Harvest: 292,000 In comparison, last years estimated harvest was 295,000 so we may not be that far off with our survey.
