Default What a week! is it normal?

I pulled my camera out on saturday after leaving it out for 2 weeks. I had 171 pics. After printing out the pics and blowing them up i got to looking at them. I had 11 different bucks come past my camera in 2 weeks. here is how they are so far from largest to smallest. Sorry no pics, I cant get my scanner to scan.
1. 9 point, really tall G2's between 8-10"
2. 8 point between 21-23' spread
3. 8 point tall 18" spread
4. 7 point Tall and wide
5. 8 Point Most massive rack, 16" spread
6. 7 point, double brow tine, 16-18" spread
7. 8 point, 15" spread, 5" brow tines
8. 6 point, 16-17'' spread not much mass
9. 6 point 15" spread one brow tine is only about an inch long
10. 7 point 12" spread, really lopsided rack
11. 6 point, small fork horn
I also have a nice buck from a few weeks earlier that is none of these bucks and a 4point from another camera. And another nice 8 point from about a mile up the road at my grandpa's. I also found a shed antler from a small 6 point.

Is it normal to see this many bucks in one area? my farm is only 125 acres and 11 of these bucks were in a 10 acre woods.

The area must be exceptionally great this year I guess, I have never had more than 5 different bucks on my cameras. I have 3 of them on the 125 acres.

Last year around this year, I had probably 6-8 nice bucks on film, and this year so far I only have 1 that I would say is decent.

The bucks are all together in bachelor herds now. You're just lucky enough to have that herd on your property now.

When the rut gets near, those bucks will disperse. Some you'll never see again and a few new ones might show up.
