Whatever happened to a balanced deer herd?

Like a friend does with his place of a little over 200 acres. He went to his neighbors and they set goals and worked together. One adjoining neighbor sold and a new person moved in and disrupted the process. Soon the neighbor was upset with not seeing deer. My friend finally convinced the guys to quit shooting all the young bucks and they’re back to seeing and killing good mature bucks.

A mature buck is gonna be 5.5 to 7.5 yr olds. If folks could get past shooting and let those 3.5 and 4.5 yr olds walk they’d see something in then. Keeping the doe population in check so as to maintain a 1/1 or as close to it as possible

Here’s a question, how many does can a mature buck service?

Is he like a herd bull with cows or is he a lesser breeder.
Watched a Marty Stouffer documentary on the life of a whitetail buck was really interesting. The buck died of stress at age 4.5. He bred himself to death. Stress is a terrible thing and is a killer in both humans and animals alike.
