Not to hijack your thread but it's related. This was the second year we put out trail cameras mid July through bow season. The first year we concentrated in the drains and got 95% does and pigs. This year we stayed mostly on ridges and uplands and had way better success on the bucks. Y'all think this is coincidence?

Buck patterns change when it starts to get cold. They like to move more to persimmons and acorns

yup id say the deer are hunkered down close to the ag fields right now, they will be in the hardwoods soon with the acorns starting to drop

I would move the cams just a hundred yards can make a difference

I hunt in Bama near GA state line on I85 and completely agree with whom that said a lot pictures are does,hogs, and little spikes/nubbers right now. Move the cameras to big ag. fields or I have had success with more pictures of bucks on ridges and dry creek bottoms this time of year. When October turns and starts to get cooler, i get bucks hitting the cameras whenever i choose to put them via hardwoods and food plots.

Im in Brooks off 133, been just getting 1 to 2 year olds at the farm till this week, had a 3 year old. Just got a new place down the road last week, planted a plot and put a camera out. Took 2 hours just to mow out a place that my longest shot is 45 yard! Place hasnt't been touched in 10 years.

Im in Brooks as well and have ab 3000 pics of the same bachelor group of small bucks. I'm getting concerned with the lack of does on our property. As long as you have does the bucks will show up. Give it a couple weeks.

this time of year bucks generally have a small core area so unless you've got a camera right in that area you typically wont see them. They should start broadening their roaming area pretty soon. As long as you've got the does the bucks will show up soon enough
