My First Deer season, trouble in whitman county

Hello,
This season was my first time deer hunting. The only deer I have been able to locate were doe. I was even within shooting distance of about 12 doe one day, but no bucks were in sight. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong. I hunted in both GMU 139 and 142. Does anyone hunt deer around here and have any pointers for locating bucks?

The only advice I can offer is what I was told as a youth by my Grand father;
Son you don't think those does get on a bus to go find a buck? They're around just have patience.

Yes, by the last few days of the season, I had to look at each doe a few times, because I could swear those ears were really antlers. But no, they were ears.

Sometimes, the first one is the hardest. Be patient and keep hunting.

If the bucks weren't there there wouldn't be any deer at all.
