I hunted the same area the Friday & Sunday before Veteran's Day, Vet's Day and the Tuesday after. 2 days I saw nothing and the other 2 days I saw all together about 40 does and no bucks. Was surprised to see the activity this soon as well. I would suspect that this is still the beginning or pre-rut. I think they say that 10% of the does come into estrus during the pre-rut.
