Default Is Your Herd Getting Big?

I went out bowhunting in the season after the rifle hunters. It's my first time to ever try this. Just trying to fill a doe tag for the freezer. I sat on the ground on the edge of a wheat feild and about 40 acre patch of creek-bottom timber. First I had 31 turkeys come right by me. Then I counted 22 antlerless deer that came out in roughly 20 min. This place that normally has around a dozen deer in it usually with about a 2 buck to 3 doe ratio. Then in the next 30 min, 14 more deer came out, all bucks. It was almost like they came out in order from smallest to biggest. I'm guessing 6 of them would make P&Y and 3 of them being in the 150 class range. The small feild was pretty full, I wish I had a camcorder or something.

I guess it's just that time of year for the deer to herd up. Anybody else been seeing some big herds in spots that shouldn't usually hold that many deer?

14 bucks? Woah, is your tag for antlerless only? I did not score here in Indiana this year and blew my chance in Iowa. My buddy took a 160 class buck in Kansas on the rifle opener.
