PGC claims 1/2 buck to doe ratio

One area I hunted last year .. I'd say 1:1.  All others 1:5 - 1:6.
 
This year it appears 1:6.
 
My opinion, I'd like 1:3 - 1:4.  To much intensity with 1:1 - 1:2.  Where it was 1:1 last year where I hunted, other one buck had a full hack.  All other decent ones were half racks.  If our ratios at truely 1:2, expect a lot of half racks this year.  I think that's way off.

My spotlight says otherwise. Deforestation my****also. The woods are so thick you cant see 5ft.

Trail cams aren't showing that close of a ratio..I'd say more like 1/4, Although the class of buck has upgraded some. Seeing a few more 3-4 year olds..

I seriously doubt it's 1:2 in 2B.

Interesting J.
 
My opinion is that even extensive observations of deer whether it be from a trail cam, spotlight, or even in the woods, do not tell the whole story.  Let's face it, bucks are more secretive than doe.  The older bucks in my areas don't move far, especially after a small amount of pressure.  They live close to heavy cover, food, and water.  I've only seen 3-4  3+ year old bucks so far this year.  Come late October and November, there will be nights where I see 3-4 in one night.  While there aren't many older bucks where I hunt compared to overall herd numbers, there are more than I think and more than I see.  If one spends alot of time in the woods during the rut, you'll get a true sense of actual ratios.  Just like women ****ing, bucks gotta roam.  It's just the nature of the beast.
