Yesterday I killed a doe butdecided not get down to retrieve my arrow until it was time to head out.Right atdark, a buck comes into the acorn grove I was guarding and was being all crazy...
I couldn't see him 'cause he was a good 75yds away but I knew it was a buck because I could hear antlers knocking branches. Anyway, he came in and was running around like some hyper dog making laps in the shape of an oval track that's 50yds long. Then he would rub a tree then make another lap. Funniest thing was after the 2nd lap he ran in the direction of a nearby swamp/pool and frikkin jumped in making a big ol' splash. He proceeded to make another rub followed by one last lap. After that I could hear him foraging around. He wouldn't leave so I just quietly got down.
My guess is that this is a 2.5 or younger buck. What do you think?

I've sen bucks do that too around a shallow pond. They would just run up and down the sides of the pond through the water. I think they were just playing.
Do big boys ever act like this?
