Whitetail Deer Management
on Rock Ridge Ranch


Our Goal: is to have a 1:2, buck to doe ratio and only harvest mature bucks, ages 51/2 and older.

Our Program:

Currently in our 2002 program:
- Hunters are allowed one buck per hunter. This instills self management.
- Maximum allowed harvest is 1 buck per 300 acres based on total acreage.
- Our hunters are encouraged to take the maximum allowed does until our optimum buck to doe ratio is achieved.

As deer hunting has become another income to ranching, we strive to learn more about whitetail deer and how to manage them in order to produce bigger and better quality deer.
