Trying to make sense of this years Rut

[Outside]

Tonight in southern Delaware county (from about 4:30 pm to 8:00 pm) I have passed four (4) bucks, and 12 does, all along, or crossing nearby roadways. I think it's 'On like Donkey Kong' this weekend.

I am noticing the same thing and have had the same question. This evening in my stand, near a cut bean field, I watched several groups of does. I fully expected to see some good action after reading some of the threads on here. The bucks never showed. I watched different groups of does, 9 in total, feed for 45 minutes before last light. I have seen a couple small bucks in the past couple weeks, always alone, and they didn't appear to be rutting. I am hunting in Richland county. Anyone else?
