Deer Herd Question

[TheMiz54]

I have had my new trailcamera out for the entire month of September and got about 160 pictures from our new 21 Acre property. I counted about 10-12 different bucks on camera. Most bucks on camera are yearlings to 2.5 years old. My question is about buck to doe ratios on everyones properies and their surrounding areas?

 

It seems with just this small sample size we have a a decent buck to doe ratio. Almost a 2:1 from this small sample size.

 

 

I know it is only a month of pictures but I wanted to see what everyones opinion about it was and if anyone has kept track of their deer herd and actually been able to get an acurate ratio? Thanks

Sure looks like a lot of the same deer in that pict. I hunt WNY and we are loaded with deer. As far as the ratio goes I couldn't tell ya. Go to your local processor or look at the dec numbers that should help.

This time of year you get a lot of passing bucks.. mom gave em the boot at 1.5 You can get a much better estimate over a longer time frame, and does are tough to I'd at first. I am down to 3-1 and stay around that by taking 10 doe a year.. fawns have to seperated in to doe and buttons as well. Not just counted as anterless.
