like the post before me said find where they are coming from or going to is the big key.

I have been watching a group of deer for 3 month now they come and go off the property a lot (NoVa). the does that have fawns with then have been running the bucks off when they get to close to their little ones its kind of funny watching a 2 year old doe run a 4 year old buck off (nice 8pt). I also know I will not see these bucks once the rut start. they run off somewhere else and then come back late November to December still looking for some love. I feel they use this property has a deer motel.

most of the places I see them now they wouldn't be when the rut starts but they do hold to it for a week or 2 before the rut gets going then they are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Good luck post some of the pics
