Dec 26-th around 9 : 30 am ,i had 6 different bucks visiting an obscure,and not refreshed salt lick.
They showed up on camera first as team of 3-then slowly team mates changed.By the end it was 6 of them "rotating"and showing off.
Maybe they were all there at all the times-just not on the camera?!
There was not much use of the old salt lick-if any at all.They barely stuck their nose in the snow-and not all did that anyway.There was no hot doe walking by,not even a doe show up on the camera a day or two earlier.........
Two of them put up a short sparring show ,a basket "nice"7 pointer,and a forky.
There was 2 big ones with them, one already had his antlers shed,and another really nice buck.
There was a buck fawn watching with great attention,and a spikey poked his nose in once ,sniffing the snow.
I will try to post few of them pictures.
WHAT could bring them all together at he same time-and SO MANY of them at once?
Generally the area holds few bucks of different age groups ,and there is always few ,2-3 always, sometimes up to 5-6 females mingling around................yet i have never seen anything like this.

Maybe one of the fawns come into estrus real late?
Now that you bring this up, My cousin shot a big buck right around the same day this year and there was 3 other bucks with it. They were all following each other.
ive seen the same thing earlier in the year around spring too while turkey hunting. 5 bucks running across the field and a fawn and a doe with them all.
multiple times seen a pair of bucks on the property just chilling out.
6 Bucks one spot/10 minutes-MISTERY
