What are you seeing in your scouting?

Lots of tracks and pictures of does and fawns on cameras but not really any good buck pictures yet. I have cameras out at two spots right now and to me, they seem a but behind on growing this year. I'm not super worried yet, our summer pictures are usually pretty sporadic. We get a lot of does but not too many bucks. It seems like the bucks really don't start to show their face until August.
We did just add another 8 cameras last week, 4 of which I'll let run for a couple months before checking. By then, I hope to get some good pics.

Keep us posted!
One in particular is really promising: There's a 150 yard strip of woods that has a pond dam one side and some very lush grass on the other. The deer are using them as feeding areas.
What's really got my attention: A creek bisects the woods and the deer are getting funneled along a high bank as they make there. Seriously heavy deer traffic along it, as it's simply too steep for them to ascend.
