New to this site! Question, I am hunting an overgrown non working tree nursery and me and my buddies have seen16 different bucks and only 1 doe. My trail cam has captured even more bucks and just 2 does. Whats up with that? Good problem, bad problem?

Ha, don't think it's a problem. I have the same thing going on with the property I hunt. We've seen somewhere around 50 deer and all but 7 or 8 were bucks! I know the does are around, maybe just bedding down or something... I dunno, but I don't complain either! LOL
I've missed a shot at4 so far. First one I turned around too late, and he was already out of my shooting lane. Second one, I had too many clothes on and couldn't draw my bow back
, 3rd one, which was about a 160 class, I shot right under, and 4th one, 15 minutes after the third, was 5 yards behind my stand, never heard him come in, turned around to check behind me and whoosh... there he went! LOL I'm an idiot!

I have a possible explanation. 'Tis the time of year that the bucks really start harassing the does....especially the young bucks. Many of the does in my opinion go into "hiding" and will lay low until the rut is on. This could be the reason you see so many bucks right now. It happens here also.
