Deer everywhere in northern 2B.

Went for a quick scout/shooting lane trimming trip last evening.  Spent a couple hrs in the woods and spooked out several deer from a couple of my spots.  Never even saw a tail due to it being so thick but droppings/prints everywhere and the trails were heavily worn.
 
Still light out when leaving and the adjacent property that had a small orchard right next to the road had 10 doe/fawns I could quickly see as I drove by but there could have been more.  
Next field up around the bend (fenced pasture) had a bachelor group of 4 small bucks.  Largest looked to be a 1.5 yr old 6 or 8.  Pretty far away even for the 10x binocs and fleeting light.
Small strip of trees separates the pasture from a larger field of soy beans and there were two larger bucks in this field (looked to be decent 2.5 yr olds but not shooters).  
 
Make the turn to go on the road that goes through the front side of the property I hunt and look over the hill and see another buck working his way out into the soybeans.  Too far to tell exactly how big.  There were other deer near the treeline but I couldn't make out #'s or what they were.  The next field up, directly across from the property I hunt, there were over 30 deer out in the field.  Majority were doe/fawns with a couple 1.5 yr old buck mixed in.  
 
Almost hit 2 doe on the drive down the hill in the wooded section of the road.  
 
Saw at least a dozen deer in the shine of the headlights feeding next to the turnpike on my way home.  Looks promising again up that way.

    It sounds like you need some company this season to help you keep things in check
     
    Are you heading out for baldies this weekend?

    Definitely need some does harvested up there.  
    I won't be out there for the early season.  I need to save up all my hall passes for the real season.  There will be plenty of opportunity to take a baldie then.  
    B/w football, gymnastics, CCD, fall soccer, and work trips, not sure when I'll even get out for the real season.

    Buck activity on the cameras has slowed down considerably for me as well over the last few weeks.  Bachelor groups are breaking up and the bucks seem to be seeking out their own private chunk of ground.
     
    It's mainly been the same group of does for me, but they have been hammering the clover pretty good over the last few weeks for sure.
