RE: weird thing on camera!!!
Did the buck have last years antlers still? I don't think a buck that has lost it's antlers or is in velvet has enough testosterone to mate. Their testicles ascend and they are not producing. What state was it in? I don't believe the Alabama rut is in November is it? I thought it was in January? It's still late but not as much. Maybe it was just a dominance behavior and not sexual.
