Cold front and prerut... the deer are getting excited!

I sat Monday night and saw 18 deer including several young bucks, they were grunting and fighting and actually bothering a few of the does. I never did shoot anything, they just stayed out over 40 yards.
Tonight the cold front is even closer, the wind turned from the N just before dark and the deer were on their feet. I passed on the 4 bucks that all went by at under 30 yards. A 1 1/2 year old 3X3, the 115" 2 1/2 year old 4X4, a new 2 1/2 year old 4X5 and a brute of a big 4X4 that will score about 140! This was a mature deer to say the least. He chased the 3 smaller bucks around and tried to fight all of them. It was comical to see them run with fear as his 50lb bigger body was too much for them! I also saw several does and fawns, racoons and 4 tom turkeys, I did shoot over the back of one lucky gobbler, maybe I will have time to range them next time...
