The bucks wont be with the does yet. In2.5-3 weeks the rutwill pick up (where I live)and they'll be searching for doesand tending does. Not sure where you're from so i cant tell you when your rut may start. Some bucks may even be in bachelor groups still, but most are probably dispersing and getting into pre-rut activity.

You have to hunt differently for a buck this time of year. Wait or head into the thickets - that's where they are!

If you have that many does, he doesn't have to go far to find "love"...Take about half of those does out...Then he has to look for them...

Since hunting started, I haven't seen any bucks yet either. Now our trial cameras have been getting pictures of bucks, so if I was in the stand that we have the trail cameras at I would have seen them. However, it's about that time, and the bucks will be moving. Almost the the rut here in Ohio.

laying on their big fat bellies, where they spend about 98% of their life. They will be getting on their feet here real soon though, so hang in there!
