Default Where's the sign?

I have received immeasurable wisdom from the hunters on this forum. I had feared that property I had purchased was void of quality bucks. It didn't add up to me because my property "looked" like quality der land- good water sources, heavy cover, small food plot openings,etc.
Well, I got pictures back from the game camera and I have seven different bucks in 32 pictures taken (one one field)! Shouldn't I have a lot of buck sign? Lots of rubs and scrapes? They range from a spike to several 120-130 ten points? Can someone give me some reasons why I'm not seeing the buck sign that should correlate with this number of bucks?

First of all how much land do you own? and how does the land around your property lay? Many factors go into this, but it is still early for sign to be showing up. The bucks are just now starting to make scrapes and rubsso be patient and I'm sure you'll see some sign as the rut gets closer. For now I would just pay attention to trails. Your property could be a natural funnel depending on how it lays.

I agree with sphinx. Depending on the size and makeup of your property they could just be using it for traveling between their bedding areas and their food source.
