I get the big boys very regular until mid September then like someone hit a switch gone. Sometimes a different one or two shows up, and the smaller bucks usually always stick around. Then later during the rut the big boys usually make their way back. Very little pressure on both of the places, and I don't see them shift due to my pressure. Sometimes I don't even go in there till there already gone for a few weeks.
Do you have acorns on your propertys? Maybe a food source shift?
I do have acorns. When they are productive it makes it very difficult to get near the deer. They don't have to move much if at all from bed to feed.
