6 Bucks and No Does!?!?

[Sarge03]

As I walked into the stand this morning I heard something I've never heard before... An actual buck fight! It was a blessing considering the way my morning started.... Anyways, I've got 6 different bucks and 3 of the 6 are all busted up. But I'm only catching these deer on cam between 0400-0600 and 1800-2000... Since they are still fighting, why aren't these guys moving during the day patrolling their territory!?!?

On another note, where are all my does? I've only seen 1-2 sets of tracks and since August, I don't have a single doe on any of my cams???

My set up is the same way. All the mature bucks are at night and does have diasappdisappeared. A few occational young bucks during the day.

if you were a doe, would you come in when there are 6 guys cruising around fighting before you even GOT THERE?

I've seen 1 doe all season!

No does anywhere near me either!

Lol the thing is, I'm hunting private land, 360 acres which is all surrounded by houses and streets. The land is pretty much "Street and residential locked". Over the last couple weeks, I've seen 3 new deer on cam, one monster that was here yesterday morning at 0430. He was busted up as well. The rut was in full swing on another lease of mine several weeks back, but still no does appeared out here. Makes me wonder why the bucks are here but no does if they are rutting.

No doubt I'm blessed! This is the first year that I've ever had this many bucks around me... Just though it was odd they aren't cruising during the day and the lack of does.

Anyone else around East Texas hearing or seeing sign of fighting still? Broken horns, hearing them go at it, etc???
