Default RE: Will a big buck be with spike?

on two occassions i have seen monster deer with younger bucks.
once in the late summer when driving our jeep on some old logging roads near a swamp saw a monster 14 or 16 typical that looked right at me for like 2 minutes. then he took off and lo and behold there was a decent 6 pointer following 5o yards behind him.
the other occassion was two weeks ago. during the doe season, as many of you who have read my earlier posts would know i have been raving about the monster 10 pointer. about 1/2 hour before dark a spike walked into a clearing 25 yards in front of me. then he left and the monster walked in and stood right where the spike was not 5 minutes before. i have my doubts that they were traveling together because just last weekend the " rutting moon" appeared in the sky(the full moon, and the lunar eclipse) and that usually signals the start of the rut. so maybe the bigger deer was chasing the smaller deer off? i dont know but of course i saw three bucks that weekend and only two yearling does, which i saw on 5 different occassions in 3 days of hunting. sorry to rant, but hope it helps.
