If there are does then there are bucks in the area also. They may be nocturnal. When the rut kicks in you might be sitting on a honeyhole. It would probably be a good idea to take a few does if there are that many anyway.
Exactly!
That's the situation I was in last year. LOTS of pics of does w/ no bucks. I was discouraged too. But, 3 days before Thanksgiving, I took a decent 8 pointer about 50 yds from camera. Had never seen this deer before in my pics. Now, I see him everyday on my living room wall!
Few days later, caught another 7 pointer on my camera in a new scrape. Be patient. Being where the does are is a GOOD thing. Especially in November. The rut can change everything. I'm still trying to "thin" my doe population some though.
