[QUOTE="Mike Belt, post: 4232203, member: 69"] Most of the bigger bucks I've had pics of in the past were never killed on Ames. A couple were killed in the same vicinity where I got the original pics and a couple were killed up to 1 1/2 miles from that point. Andy, I just don't know how true it is that by keeping the doe population in check makes for more potential buck movement during the rut. On the surface it makes perfect sense but to tell you the truth, I've seen 10 fold more rutting action with higher numbers of does present. I suppose if you happen to set up right on top of a hot doe the action you may see might be fast and furious but overall, the more does we have spread out over the place the more potential rutting action we have spread out over the place as opposed to just a few site specific areas. Granted that with fewer does the bucks might have to get on their feet to find them but if the does are sharing the same hidey holes the bucks seem to have found they don't have too move far.
