Can anyone tell me what the Male to Female ratio should be when trying to balance a BG population? If I'm returning only the biggest more dominant bulls, should I be removing ALL females and subordinants that are caught or just the smaller ones? Seems if I taking all the smaller biters, i would be taking potential food away from the predators.
