I moved up to northern part of the state with my wife almost 10 years ago after growing up in middle Georgia.
Since moving here, I have noticed the buck to doe ratio is extremely out of balance in the opposite way that I saw back home.
I have a lot of does on the properties that I hunt. I have even more bucks. It's not uncommon for me to see 2-4 doe and 5 plus bucks per hunt.
This year I have seen 15 bucks and 4 does. On Saturday evening, I had 4 bucks and a doe come in to the food plot. I watched the bucks chase off the doe for 15-20 minutes. This seems to be typical, bucks are constantly running off the does all year.
Anyone else seeing this in the northern counties? Has the DNR ever commented on the buck to doe ratio in the northern portion of the state?
