Colorado doesn't count! That place is just a different level :chuckle:

Thanks for all the input guys. To follow this up, I went to another drainage I know well a few miles away the next day. There were 8 or 9 does and one spike in there. After an hour I noticed another deer cruising out of a timber pocket 300 yards from me, 24-25" wide 4x4 with a dropper. The guy I was with got to 80 yards from him, but couldn't quite get an arrow in him. He was just cruising the ridge looking for does and the group from the day before just didn't have a buck (that I could see) in their vicinity.

I have a camera in the canyon where that big buck was in, looking forward to seeing him come by my salt so I can see him up close!

Look above the does.....lots of times the bucks will bed above the does to keep an eye out.  I too watched multiple groups of does and thought the same thing......until all of a sudden the glimmer of antlers gave away their location.  Bucks will often stay laying while the does feed.....especially mid day. 
Best piece of advice IMHO.  When you find significant does groups during the rut, with no stupid young bucks in their midst - start glassing and gridding looking for that bedded breeder.  I've found them as far away as 400 yards form the does, and usually in some cover so you're looking for antler, leg, ear, nose, eye ...  That spike avoiding getting too close to the does increases the odds a breeder is in the vicinity.

That was my first thought when I read the OP.  He was there... somewhere...   :peep:
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
