    Most would not call this a problem, but I'm thinking long term, as in years down the road. Have 4 trailcams on my property (336 acres) and have at least 55 identified bucks running around. I've posted a couple on here, and my avatar is also one we've seen a bunch. The problem is there don't seem to be many does. I know it's hard to differentiate between does, but the quantity of bucks to does is 2:1 on the trailcams. I'm just thinking long term and am wondering if I should be doing things different. Haven't harvested does, only mature bucks the last 4 years, and have actually passed on what would qualify as a trophy to P&Y or Booners. Now I'm seeing lots of great bucks, and love to see them, but I'm wondering if all the bucks will drive the does away. I know the bucks will be in search of them in a couple of months, and that's got me thinking also. Any ideas? Again, I'm thinking long term for the property and health of the herd.
