I was working at the same location in SW Kansas all week. Saw a group of whitetails with a nice 8-pt buck and five does. His neck was still enlarged, or he was just that stout?

Also saw a group of mule deer several evenings. That group also consisted of one buck and five does.

Does only one buck in each group mean the deer are still in the rut? Or that hunters selectively harvested a lot more bucks?
