Some other threads have brought up the ratio of bucks to does. I am probably way off base on this but here's my 2 cents. If you have a big tract of land to manage...1000 acres or more... then it is very important to get those numbers in order. If you are "managing" a small tract of land, 100 acres or less I can tell you that 10 does and 10 bucks aren't going to stay exclusively on your property. If there aren't any does ready then the bucks are going elsewhere. They are not going to run back and forth on your small parcel waiting for a doe to become ready. Therefore, we strive to keep as many does as possible using our property. If we have 20 does using it we have double the chances of one bringing in a mature buck. As long as they have plenty of food and cover I don't see the problem with more ladies. I'm sure we have enough neighbors willing to keep the does in check.
Like I said, I could be totally screwing things up thinking like this.
