Editor's Note: Craig and Neil Dougherty take hundereds of thousands of trail camera photos on their properties in upstate New York each year. All fall they will be submitting their most recent photos, as well as photos from their contacts across the country, to Outdoor Life to help predict deer activity.

Despite the fact that buck activity is picking up, a few groups of “buck buddies” remain intact and showed up on camera last week.  These two year olds have been hanging together all fall.  Give them another week and they will be battling not grooming.
