I’ve hunted 5 times and I’ve seen 6 bucks and zero does. I usually see more bucks on this place but this is unusual.

Ive hunted..ive hunted probly 20-25 times and ive seen 3 bucks an 5-7 does...all totally different locations for the most part and i saw the majority inside maybe 3 or 4 hunts.

Also....some of yall...need to ship some deer up here to marshall county...datgum..id stroke out if i saw more than 10 deer a year here hunting...much less one sit...ive seen lots if deer before...and in alabama....but dang it wutdnt here.

22.2%

We’ve seen probably 20-30 does and maybe 8 bucks those are different deer we see the same does and little bucks pretty regularly.

10 does, 3 different bucks. I shot a doe last Wednesday 10 yard bowshot. I have a half a small freezer full of ground venison from last year. I don't need any more meat. I am hunting decent bucks for now.

4 hunts. 1 buck/ 5 does.

I’ve got one property where 75% of the deer I see are bucks. The other one is about 20%.

Last hunt there. 4 bucks and one doe.
The one before. Same stand. 8 bucks. 2 doe.

Saw 10 does and 1 little spike opening day of Gun. 2 does the next hunt. None killed yet but we usually kill 1 each so 3 total. Last year no bucks during day til January but we only hunted green fields, plan on sitting the woods a bit more this year, and there’s a couple golden acorn dispensers going off 2x daily if all else fails.
I’d love to know which areas y’all are seeing these large double digit deer herds. We’re in south East conecuh

Just this weekend, while in the stand I talked to my grandson about how blessed we are. I told him that some folks I read about here see five deer in ten trips. He could not imagine. We have seen probably 100 does and a couple dozen bucks. He killed one and we had an absolute monster get by us. We are truly, truly blessed. We do not shoot does.

Probably 50/50

6 BUCKS 1 DOE THUS FAR

If you are seeing deer but aren't seeing bucks someone shot them.

The reality is this... If you are not seeing enough bucks start shooting does and you won't have to worry about seeing all those does. You can just sit there and watch an empty field.

Serious. That's how it works.

Most can't seem to figure that out.

It's unbelievably hard for people to understand this.

Yeah, I'm not above shooting a doe..........in fact, while I haven't killed a ton of deer in my life, most were does - though never more than 2 in a season. But, common sense tells you that only half the deer are capable of creating more deer, so I've never understood the "we need to wipe out a chit-ton of does" mentality...

The idea that less does around will "stir up the bucks" MIGHT be true for a week per year. But all the other time you're left with fewer deer sightings....and fewer female deer to make more bucks in the coming years.

Totally wrong.
You're thinking like a human. Deer ain't humans.
You'll never achieve a 1/1 ratio, but the closer you get the more bucks you'll see.

I have hunted three mornings this week and have seen 10 bucks, 9 does

Outback speaketh truth. It’s also hard to comprehend that bucks will often seek out better habitat with more resources and cover, away from doe social units for about 10 months out of year. If you improve your habitat, balance your ratio by removing some does(not eliminating them), then your buck observations will almost certainly increase.

Well obviously I have have created the dreaded "doe sink" with my habitat improvements. Have sat twice and saw 17 does and 11 does respectively. Not an antler to be seen.But they are there and for sure will be seen starting about January 15-30.
