4 year or older bucks?
In your area.
Per 100 deer how many 4 year or older bucks?

Actually putting it in perspective like that maybe 3-4% might me a better % on one farm another place I hunt it might be 2%. 10% may be high thinking about it out of 100 deer. The rut will skew the percentage on any given day.

1 in 30 I would guess.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Re: What percentage of the deer herd consists of....
Great question. You have me thinking. My area up north is making a bit of a comeback and I'd guess there may be 12 - 15 deer per square mile. I would hope that there would be one buck per sq mile that is 4 or older. The math on that comes out to 7-8 %. I'm being optimistic in my deer per sq mile so the % may be a bit higher.

I have no idea but it is much less than it was a few years ago. EAB really had them stacked up there for awhile but now the herd is really thinning out. If I had to guess I would say under 5% right now.

Re: What percentage of the deer herd consists of....
On our farm i would guess that it would be 15% or so, in the area we hunt in the UP I would guess it is closer to 5%

I really don't know. I know I can't remember the last time I have seen a four year old buck in my home area.

Re: What percentage of the deer herd consists of....
Depends on where I am hunting... I think the marsh near my home is at about 5 to 10%... Once they get to 4 years old, there more likely here to die of old age or get hit by a car than shot by a hunter.

5-10% I would say in the areas I hunt

Re: What percentage of the deer herd consists of....
100 deer.
1/3 buck to doe ratio.
25 buck - 75 doe.
10% of the 100 deer = 10 deer.
25 buck with 10 of those over 4 years old.
5% of the 100 deer.
25 bucks with 5 over 4 years old.
2% of the 100 deer.
25 bucks with 2 over 4 years old.
1/3 buck to doe ratio.
25 buck - 75 doe.
10% of the 100 deer = 10 deer.
25 buck with 10 of those over 4 years old.
5% of the 100 deer.
25 bucks with 5 over 4 years old.
2% of the 100 deer.
25 bucks with 2 over 4 years old.
