I am a fairly new hunter in the Tioga County NY area of New York. I currently have upgraded my tree stand and have been in the woods the past 2 weekends. I have noticed that there have been 7-8 does near my stand but have not seen any Bucks. There are no rubs and or scrapes in the area. I hunt on my father in laws 200 acre land and have only seen 2 other rubs. I have always heard where there are doe there have to be bucks. Is this true? I am hoping that is is still early for the bucks not to be rubbing and scraping. I have also placed some mineral licks out in 3 differant areas of my stand. I hope this helps. Just havent seen many bucks which is a little discouraging. Thanks for any help that any of you can offer.
