Re: Largest Group Of Bachelor Bucks You Have Seen?
I saw 10 bucks in a 5-10 acre field a couple weeks ago all together. That's the most I've ever seen in one bunch. The biggest was maybe 120" and probably a 3 1/2 yr old. All the rest were 1 1/2's and 2 1/2's.
Luck is when preparation meets opportunity!!

Re: Largest Group Of Bachelor Bucks You Have Seen?
I have seen more than 10 in one field recently, but it was a big field, and I would consider them separate groups as they were not all together. I don't know the largest group I have ever seen. It's not something I typically keep track of.
Some do. Some don't. I just might...

Re: Largest Group Of Bachelor Bucks You Have Seen?
In a public land field I once saw 8 but all were under 2 and a half.
It was during pre rut.
Most groups I see have 2-3 bucks.

Re: Largest Group Of Bachelor Bucks You Have Seen?
7 or 8 years ago I saw 7 in one group. Biggest was a 3.5 year old. Came around a corn field and they were standing 30 yards off the road in the beans and took off. Pretty cool.
I did see 9 at once this year but they weren't in what I would call a bachelor group. They were spread out.

It was 13 or 14 in the bean field behind my house a couple summers ago. It's a secluded field that can only be seen from my house not from the road. Every year that it's planted in beans, especially later beans that were planted behind wheat or barley, it will have a bachelor group staying here.
There is good bedding all the way around the field. The hunt club that hunts it usually stops by a couple days before bow season to cut trails and bang nails into their stands. They never have a clue that any of these bucks exist and unknowingly blow it. Works out rather nicely for me because it butts up to public!

I'm reason they call it hunting and not shooting.

Re: Largest Group Of Bachelor Bucks You Have Seen?
I voted 8 but just remember that I have video from about 10 years ago of a group of about 15. The most I have seen during the season is 8. One year had this huge bachelor group that kept coming out of this one bedding area. It was on a neighboring piece of private. Biggest was a 140 inch wide 8 point. The deer was only a 3 year old but was very wide. My dad had him at 45 yards but did not feel confident with the shot. I missed a 7 point from the bachelor group 2 days later. Then a couple days after that I called 2 more of the bucks in but ran out of day light. It was the last time I saw them. They were out every night for about the first 6-7 days of the season. The big one was very killable if I would have had access to the tree line they kept coming out of but it was all neighboring private and they would make their way over to the private I had permission on but it was always after dark.
