Not nesessarilly, Does are quite different to bucks. The bucks you see feeding along side of a doe in the summer may live 2 miles away in Sept. or Oct.
The Pre-rut is the best time to find the buck your after. Start looking for rubs on trees about the first of Sept.The best place to find one is usually near a good food source.Oak trees,corn fields,grain fields or best of all a new growth green field,alfalfa,clover,winter wheat or barley.
Once you find a rub look for others nearby that go back into the woods. Follow these back into the woods a ways and sometimes you can find out which direction the buck will be coming from. Not always though. Congratulations on the sighting though. That definately means there is deer in the area.
