Default RE: Is this statement correct about deer hunting?

Jimmy, I would say that it depends on the area you
are hunting and I would say that not that many Bucks
would be watching you. Maybe 1 or 2 other Bucks
might be in the area, but not 10 Bucks. Usally there is
5 or 6 does with one 1 buck, but not 2 or 3 groups in
the same area. Deer groups usally stay in1 square mile.
I'm an old timer and don't believe that many deer are
winding you at the same time. Does are the ones who
alarm the Bucks of danger.
Now, in the Rut it is different. You will see 3 or4 Bucks
chasing a group of Does, but after the rut 5 or 6
Does to 1 Buck. If they have water, food and shelter in
that area, they will stay in that area most of thier lives.
You can chase them with Dogs into the next county,
but they will return to the same spot unless other hunters
keep pushing them farther and farther away.

I have seen it here on my property for 40yrs and been
in the Deer woods for over 50yrs. Good luck this season!
