Northwest SD the deer are still in bachelor groups. I saw three bucks together saturday evening, 2 sunday morning and on sunday evening I saw 4 different groups of bucks from 2 to 4.

Mix of mature deer and young deer. Sunday night there were 4 mature deer bedded together under a Russian Olive tree. Several does walking by and milling around in the area and they didn't even look at them. Still a ways away up here.

On another note, my cousin shot a nice deer in Southeast NE on Saturday am. Deer was checking scrapes and passed about 80 yards from his stand and he grunted at it once, deer turned and came right to him. Other reports from buddies down there, necks aren't swollen and the bucks aren't moving much right now.
