If you spend much time reading hunting magazines, watching hunting shows, or talking to other hunters the subject of buck to doe ratios is something that everyone concerned with management is talking about. Most hunters, and until recently myself included, believe that buck to doe ratios ...

I've noticed considerably more deer, both bucks and does so far this year. I've got 16 acres bordering the GWNF in Shenandoah County with a 2 acre pasture and game plot. I've put out winter wheat, peas, oats, turnips and ladino clover in the game plot. The pasture is planted in a horse mix. So far we have a regular group of 5 does and 4 fawns, an 8 pointer, a heavy 6 pointer, another 6, a 5, several 4s and several spikes that visit on a regular ...

By comparing each jawbone collected to established tooth eruption and wear criteria, an age can be assigned. The ages assigned allow important comparisons both within and between age classes and provide valuable insight regarding management success. Additionally, the population models used by many state wildlife agencies are based on the estimated ages of deer in the harvest. It is obvious ...
