Default Bucks still together

Why are all the bucks still together? I hunted on a soy bean field this morning and had 6 bucks all single file oldest to to youngest come out and feed 200yds from any of the does, I can't figure it out. Last year by the end of November they were seperated

Not uncommon for them to still be bacholered up right now. Things are getting ready to change though!

Here in New England, the bucks should begin leaving their bachelor groups within the next week. At least that's been my observations where I hunt.
Plus, the weather is still warm (60-70) and the deer are feeding on the heavy mast. Soon they will change and begin to focus on breeding. We are now just beginning to see heavy rubs and small scrapes on the edges of fields and cuttings.
