So I'm a novice hunter. Just my second season back into hunting after taking 8 or 10 years off, and I really didn't know what I was doing in my teenage years when I hunted for the first times...so let's just say I have a lot to learn. This was my first year using trail cams. I have the huge privilege of access to an outstanding piece of hunting property in Jefferson County, and at different times I had as many as 3 cameras set up in different spots within the 80 acres or so of the property that I hunt.
I was blown away by the total number (and quality) of different bucks that showed up on the cameras. I guess I knew that deer moved, but I had the sense that they mostly stayed within a small area. I've not carefully compared the photos enough to be sure, but I'd say over the past 3 months of trail cam photos, there were at least 15 different bucks on the property, with at least 5 of them respectable 8 pts or bigger.
How typical is that variety/quantity of bucks from one hunting property?
