where have all the bucks gone?

I have had bucks on camera all year long day and night, now it seams all I have are doe. I'm hoping if the doe stick around the bucks will show back up during the rut. Anyone have similar issues?

 

The old myth of "The October Lull" is starting... Google it.

If you have does, the bucks will come in a few weeks.

 

Ok I will thanks, I'm new to hunting deer other than rifle season

 

Here are a few resources:

Find the acorns and you'll find the deer. No such thing as October lull in my opinion. You just have to adapt to changing food sources and changing deer behavior.

 

Yup same thing for me in western pa. Cams are dead and so have my hunting outings lately.

 

I got acorns in the woods,soy beans and corn in the fields, Apple's on the edge of the old pasture. Water on both side wooded and farm and thick over growth for cover. But no bucks day or night

 

Sat in a different spot tonight away from the soy beans where I've only seen does and fawns and had a bachelor group of 4-5 come in. Unfortunately they were down wind and busted me but they were still packing up.

Find the acorns. The white oaks are dropping like crazy so find the ones they are eating. Just keep moving until you do, look for buck scat in close proximity to those acorns and then hunt over that area.
