I always shot yearlings late season, that's what I use for my ground meat. It wasn't a rule, but we always tried to wrap up our meat hunting before thanksgiving. It's nice to have does and small bucks coming out on plots at 4pm without a care in the world.

You will never have bucks with good racks walking around if there are too many does.
The buck/doe ratio should be around 2/1 to 4/1 for the best antlers. It is extremely hard to get the herd to those ratios.

4/1 is a little high

I disagree. It's not the shooting the doe that bothers me. It's just that the more does running around during the rut the more reasons for a buck to get stupid and chase it in front of your stand.
Last year during the rut, saw a doe come through. Waited. She passed. Not 2 minutes later big 8 pt came through hot on her trail. Couldn't get a shot off, he was moving quick. 30 minutes later, slightly smaller 9 pt came through, moving slower, smelling and following the exact same path again. Laid him out.
That's why I don't shoot does during the rut.

I would say it is almost impossible to get there in a non-high fenced herd since half of all fawns will be does and the number of yearling bucks that will migrate out.

I think he is talking about from a reproductive biological stand point, not a hunting stand point.

Yea, it's possible you shoot an impregnated fawn late in the hunt but overall I don't think it makes any difference in the herd.
