On several occasions I've seen button bucks bumping heads this season. A couple of times they tried it on mom.... it didn't go over so good! She reared up and came down with her head but the feisty little bugger fled the scene in the nick of time.
Same here GregH, poor little button heads are always the outcast of the deer family. Does don't want them, bucks don't want them, sisters don't want them.
I've seen them bumping heads, never a knock down drag out like them's pops...lol
The funny thing is to watch them do the instinctive thing and attempt the rituals of breeding, scrapping, rubbing. It's really comical to watch a button rub a small sapling. Do you think he even knows what he's doing?
