I looked at Game Check and right now for shelby county its running 1 buck for ever 2 doe's killed. Doesn't that seem odd considering there is a 3 buck limit but a daily doe limit?

I think we need to take out some spikes. I have 1000 acres basically. 24 green fields, none of which are bigger than half an acrea, and maybe 8 to 10 acre's planted. Fields have been tested and limed. They aren't being hammered. Well some of the smaller ones that have whitetail clover are. But the rest, nope.

The QDMA argument is they may grow to sport some nice antlers, but shouldn't I already have some nice antlers on the property? What would it matter if I killed a nice rack buck or a spike. All you are really talking about there is what, the timing of when you can kill the buck with the nice antlers?

I am sorry, I am a numbers guy, and I just don't see how you have a property where you kill 3 times the number of doe's to bucks, when just the law of averages would dictate each surviving doe would have either one or two deer and the split between buck and doe fawns would be roughly equal. Then you have a bunch of dumb knot head bucks running around that no one shoots. They shoot more doe's. Eventually you wind up with a whole lot of bucks and not many doe's.

I get why they want a 1 to 1 ratio. It's so the bucks have to work to find a doe. But you probably won't see many bucks until the rut. So what's the point? You basically spend all this money and hunt for 3 weeks and call it quits? Just seems counter productive.
