i have never had the opportunity to hunt a place that has what i would call a herd of deer. just stragglers running through the woods.

this year i am hunting a 215 acre farm with lots of deer. the other day my buddy saw a group of 12 deer crossing the river with 3 " good size" bucks.

we never saw a big time rut around here but how soon after the rut do they herd back up and start running together?
