[QUOTE="Buzzgun, post: 1996563, member: 4715"] Can't tell from your post if you are disagreeing with me or not, but I never said that the number of does had anything to do with the size or maturity of the bucks?? However, available habitat will only support so many deer and, when food is limited, the entire herd suffers, that, in turn, can and does effect the overall health and antler quality of the bucks. The post you quoted was in response to a previous post that said he had seen an improvement in bucks as a result of the reduction of buck limit from 3 to 2. Some folks have suggested that reducing the limit on bucks will lead to the harvest of more does, that theory is not necessarily true and the result of such a change may be the harvest of less does because of reduced hunter days in the field. As I have said all along, in areas where the buck to doe ratio is way out of line, you don't fix it by killing fewer bucks, you fix it by killing more does, and reducing the limit on bucks doesn't equate to killing more does.
