At this time of year the does and bucks split up. The does are having fawns and the bucks are hanging out. They'll be back together after the buck's antlers are developed. Check the camera in late August.

keep the does fed and happy they will stay close, bucks travel a 2sq mile area, but during the rut they will come to the ladies
do not shoot your dominant does, these are the ones who locate and hold there feeding areas and will remain thruout several years if there is ample food supply
the bucks will come to them they dont go to the bucks
that little bottom looks like a great place for a food plot, fescue is not a good food source for wildlife
