When will the bachleor groups of buck start breaking up?
 

I have a REALLY nice 8 running with a forked horn and a spike lol I can't belive he don't have any bigger buddys but.. When the bucks start breaking up and start gettin deffensive will the good buck stay or leave and when do they start breaking up?

all hard to say...

ive seen a VERY mature buck running with a young buck during the peak breeding period AFTER our seeking/chasing phase...

typically, id say the dominant buck of the area aughta run the others off here reallll quick...im starting to see rubs popping up pretty quick and heavy...but its nature...never can say...and once the seeking/chasing starts they could all be gone...just never know...thats why i like hunting known funnels and pinch points that deer naturally travel through and not worry about what deer are where or anything...just gotta hope im there when a shooter comes through...
