Whitetail Deer HuntingGain a better understanding of the World's most popular big game animal and the techniques that will help you become a better deer hunter.
I don't know if there is any visual sing to look for except a buck is chasing her.
I do know when the bucke are chasing them they will walk and run with there tail sticking out and off to the side rather than running with the flag up.????????????????????????

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.
Other than whats been said already , I look to see how the doe's tail is : if straight out andoff to the side a little thats one sign thats she's ready to breed.

In addition to those already stated I have seen them appear to look like they are dragging their butts across the ground. Really are squatting and peeing on their scent glands,etc. This is usuallyfollowed by bucks in tow. I have also notice they kind of loaf out of the brush vs stand and watch then walk.I'll try toexplainwhatI mean by loaf -they are alert in head position, high stepping with their legs and tails at half mass...this prance is often followed by the stop and look back to where they entered your field of view. Usually revealing a suitor!!
Alsojust like bucksdoes become less alert almost dazed in nature, it is like their guard is let way down for the period in which they have to be bred.

What was said right here is what I use to tell. Just as he said they will get a prance going and walk around in weird patterns. The tail will go up and down alot as they walk but will stay at half mass alot to. Another thing they do is wonder off and be alone. I do not know of anyone ever saying a in heat doe taste bad either.
I did one time see two does "coming" into heat last year, and let me tell ya that aint a pretty sight! At first I thought they were shot right up the butt!! Nasty!!
