[QUOTE="Mike Belt, post: 3537147, member: 69"] One would think that concentrations of does are drawing magnets to cruising bucks and it can happen. I glass most of the does I see leading up to the rut and continue to do so continuously throughout the season concentrating on their hock glands and their actions. It doesn't necessarily mean a doe's not entering estrous because her hocks haven't turned from white to a buff or brown color but in most cases that will signify she is in or has entered estrus. If I'm consistently seeing a group of does in certain area I try to keep up with how many of them have already entered estrus and probably already been bred...concentrating on how many haven't. Early into the rut and throughout most of the rut this information often determines where I hunt but more often than not is more critical during the late breeding season when the older, unbred does recycle or the early born young are entering estrus for the first time. At that time there are fewer does to be bred and the bucks involved with breeding have to expand their search areas or travels. [/QUOTE]
