Default YOUR buck to doe "harvest" ratio?

I know a lot of people have been talking about shooting does and stuff, so what's your buck to doe ratio of all the deer you've taken?

I realize some states make it difficult to take does, so if that is the case state so.

I've got a 1:2.75 buck to doe ratio. For the majority of my hunting career, I've been able to take multiple does per year, but only ever 1 buck.

Average about 10 does and 5 bucks a year.

The last 4 years have averaged out to 1:1.25 usually it's 1:1.

This is really my fourth year of serious bowhunting. I've taken 4 bucks and just one doe with the bow. Now that I've got a few archery deer under my belt, I'll be more selective about the bucks that I take. At this point, I think I'll only shoot a buck if it's worthy of going on the wall. Otherwise, I'm taking a doe.

Since the days I was enlightened to proper deer management my ratio is aprox. 3 does for every 1 buck.
