I do get more than my share of bucks. The first year we built on this acreage, Cindy and I were sitting on the lower back porch, one evening, About 80 yards away, a procession of eight very large racked bucks, filed out of the woods. This was ten years ago. Every year after that, there has been a bachelor group of four or more mature bucks. This year there was six hanging out together. Last year there was five.
Several years ago, after our generous hunting season (third weekend in Sept. till Feb 28th) I photographed a group of eleven bucks in March. At first, I thought they were does. Until the last one that appeared had antlers (8 pointer). when I glassed them, I could see the others had dropped theirs............bosses/bare spots on their heads, were apparent.
We get does but not as many during the day light hours. Game cameras pick them up, most nights, in the food plot. Just this morning Cindy saw a doe drinking from the birdbath, at 7 AM.
I manage my property to attract and hold deer. I'm also mostly surrounded by thousand of acres of wooded land that is inaccessible to the public. No agricultural crops are grown in the immediate area.
