RE: deer movement? where di dthe bucks go?
Could be too much intrusion, acorns falling now, bach groups are just starting to break up a bit and they are becoming intolerable of each other. There are many reasons why sighting become fewer this time of year. Hang in there. Id personally stay out til eason starts. I rearly walk my lease except for hanging stand and making sure stuff is ready for season. We hit it for a few days in late Aug. and stay out. Checking trail cams alot can cause mature bucks to leave if you not careful where you put them(ie.too close to bedding)and careful about leaving a bunch of scent.
