Good post. I have seen two bucks and three does this year so far. Both bucks I had within range at 10 and 20 yards, and they were both coming in 1-2 hours after sun-up to bed down. I am happy about seeing two bucks this early as I only saw 3 bucks the entire year last year. And guess what, all three bucks I saw last year were within bow range, and the two I saw this year were within bow range. So I believe I am setting up to get better shots, but just seeing less deer overall, and that includes bucks.
