RE: when bucks seperate from the bachlor groups..
I have beans to the South of me.....beans to the east....and I did have corn to my west. NOTHING on the side I can hunt.....until they get on the mast crops.
I saw some deer in the fields, this year....but it's a little disheartening knowing I can' thunt them, there. Never more than a couple, though....and always with does.
