Probably just those young bucks learning about their hormones. However, last year was one of the worst years I had for seeing any bucks, big or small. This year has been one of my best years for seeing them. I have seen a ton of small ones already and 3-4 in the 110"-120" class. None of which I would shoot. Over the course of the summer I had seen 3-4 bucks going between 120"-130" that I might shoot, and 7-8 bucks that would go between 130"-180" that I would definitely shoot. These are on two different properties I hunt on. So far I haven't seen any of the bigger boys while on stand yet. Thursday I will be hunting a ridge that is smothered with large oaks. Hoping to catch one of the big boys looking for acorns as he strolls on by.
