Ask yourself, are chances better of growing healthier, bigger bucks higher in…
1. An area with high competition for resources and more stress
2. An area with low competition for resources and less stress
Also, will your rut be as intense and prime for hunting in…
1. An area with a too many does and heavily skewed sex ratios
2. An area with a healthy amount of does and balanced sex ratios
Also, will your bucks be healthier/more likely to thrive in…
1. An area with skewed sex ratios wherein some does don’t get bred on their first cycle and effectively cause an additional chase phase, greatly increasing the rut stress on bucks
2. An area with balanced sex ratios wherein all does get bred on their first cycle thus avoiding additional stress on bucks
Sounds complicated
And all based off food plots getting eaten like they’re designed to do.
I’m just kidding. What do you estimate your deer per square mile to be? 80? 100?
Large swaths of Bama have closer to 10 or 20.
