Cool weather bucks

Last night I saw more and bigger bucks out than I have all year. Might have been the cool weather that had them out early. Seen most of them in the beans. Some look to score pretty good by fall, couldn't sleep with the visions of some of those bucks strolling by my tree. Anyone else having this problem?
 
I saw nine deer last night, two of which were bucks. They were eating in the bean field, and one doe was standing on the bike trail I was running on. She just stood and looked at me for about 30 seconds the abled off in the field.
 
I noticed the same thing last Tuesday night up here in Wisconsin..the same day that heat wave broke. I also noticed the bugs (mainly mosquitos) were not as ravenous that night either. Must have been a combination of the two (cooler temps and fewer bugs). Whatever it was, I saw lots of bucks - and a few dandies too. Its too soon to tell where they'll end up for sure, but one looked to be about a 140 class and the other I guessed would end up in the 130s
 
We have spotted four very nice bucks and several smaller ones in the last six days and that is only out on the hunting ground. My kids have spotted three real nice bucks here in town, Des Moines area, in the same time frame.
 
Yesterday when I got off work at 0600 hours there were two bucks around 130 to 150 class. These were both right in town just south of the new jail in Council Bluffs. They walked right over towards Hy-vee as I sat and watched them for about 5 minutes. WOW what a rush that was!! Now I can hardly wait bow season!
 
Saw several real nice bucks last night, but then at about dark found a group of 5 bucks with the biggest being a monster 8 pointer that would score 160 right now. What a buck, and now I can look at him anytime because I got him on film! Is it October yet?
 
Caught this buck this morning, he was with 4 others - all bigger. Most of my shots were with my Nikon but I did catch this one quickly with my digital camera as he moved to his bed.

I have seen lots and lots and lots of does and fawns but only one small buck. Been scouting almost every night.
