I was reading a recent article in D&DH (I think) and it was talking about the makeup of bachelor groups. It was saying how certain age class deer feel more comfortable with "their own". For instance....you might see 1.5's running with 2.5's......and 2.5's running with 3.5's.....but it would be unusual to see a 1.5 running with mature deer.

I pulled out an old magazine (NAW - October 2005), this morning, and was reading an article in there.....where the author speaks of seeing a 2.5yr old with an older buck.....and how odd he felt that was.

Do you guys notice these things? Reason I ask.....I saw what might very well be the first bachelor group I've seen on the lands I hunt, last night. I think they were all 2.5's, though. It was REALLY cool....considering the lands I hunt....to see a group of racked bucks. Nothing huge....but they were all sporting 8 (or so) points....and they all looked like 2.5's (to me).

Do you typically find what these two different authors say is true to be factual where you hunt?
