and why have i got a bunch of pics of doe without fawns?

Although it goes against conventional deer management practices, I disagree. I questioned the the lease rules of only one doe per membership for a while, but after having some great bucks come off of our small property (1100 acres) over the past few years and looking at pics of bucks from previous years I am beginning to change my tune. We haven't had any TC pics of any of the good bucks that we've shot (I'll say 130 or over is a good buck in our area). It seems that the bucks just flood our property during the rut. I would assume that this is because of all of the does on the place. We don't feed protein, just one food plot minimum per member and several lease plots that aren't hunted over. We have 2 150 class 10's and a 142" 8 point over the past 3 seasons. Pretty good for a $550/year lease...

I can certainly see where it may not always hold true. We used to see A LOT of does....but rarely see bucks. We had pictures of some, but rarely saw them. Started shooting more does, and started seeing more bucks......we had also had a phenominal rut last year too, so that could skew the #s some. It may not always hold true, but I sure don't mind anyone taggin out on does anymore.

You may not be seeing fawns because they probably aren't on corn yet.

but wouldnt they be with there moms?

Take your cameras off your feeders and put them on game trails. I'd bet dollars to donuts you'll get pics of bucks then. I have this exact problem!

i dont have feeders up it just corn poured on the ground and its had to determine the deer trails from the hog trails theres so many i havnt got to hunt the place yet this will be my first year

I'm not sure if the does stash the fawns in the trees, or the ones with fawns just don't use the feeders as much......but we rarely get faw pics either.

I wouldn't worry about it much, those cameras are fun toys.....but they don't tell the whole tale. We have mixed results with cameras, but the whole place changes when the velvet comes off, and the weather cools down a little. Good luck!

k i hope so!

We have a ton of does and usually see bucks milling around the main roads or off to the sides of the feeders. I moved my cameras back to the feeder trails and caught more on camera that way.
