I see where you're coming from, Jeff. This time of year, if you're after the mature bucks, your best bet isn't probably hunting the heavily doe saturated areas. In my case, I'm after a doe or a buck, and which ever presents itself first, so I continue to hunt the locations where I'm seeing a lot of doe. I really don't feel that I have access to any solid mature buck territory on the property I hunt. My pre-rut observations and early season scouting confirm this. I don't really see much other than 1.5 yr old bucks ANYWHERE until the rut begins. I've hunted this piece of ground for all of my life so, unless I'm missing on key piece of info, that's my take on my situation.
