You know the mature does that chose the area you are hunting as their home range. They seem to drift in an out grabbing some acorns an playing hide an go seek with the bucks. The bucks are grunting loud enough that you can here them from 150 yards. You see anywhere from 7 to 12 bucks sometimes. There are usually at least two good ones for your area in the group. You might even see a buck fight or two that day. They seem to sometimes move a little from area to area.
