Can't tell for sure. I've had friends say they've seen fawns by themselves, bucks still grouped, bucks with does. I haven't had much of a season so far. Only seen 1 small doe where I've been hunting and that was yesterday morning. A few weeks ago I had an 8 run straight at me to about 5 yards and then take a hard turn and bound off. I thought he was attacking me. That's the only buck I've seen but have found 4 rubs nearby. Maybe just starting but it's been fairly warm still. My guess is it hasn't kicked in. If it would cool off I think things will "heat" up.
