As for feeder hunting.... I would rather have the does. Does do not raom as much as the bucks. Which means that the does you see usually stay close to that area. Bucks this time a year are gouped up but as soon as the rut comes they loose their mind and start chasing any sent on the wind. If you got does you will have bucks.

that statement makes no sense.
if you have does you will have bucks. if you have a correct buck/doe ratio the bucks will beat out the does to the food. having does around dosent' make a hoot. in the rut, if a doe is hot, it will bring in bucks, but many times they don't hange around long enough after a buck shows up that it makes a difference
I have bucks.......at my feeder. does can eat in the road or sendero all they want. I want that buck nibbling on corn unaware that anything unfortunate is about to take place
