Its that time of the year when the does start pushing out their young ones to get into other groups or herds for genetic reasons. I have witnessed on several occouracnces int he past a doe that will litterly be loving and caring to its young one minute and turn around and push him right away by hoofing him. Does normally do this to their buttonbuck offspring. This is natural. The button buck will then leave mommas side and venture out on his own and find another buck usually 1 1/2 years of age and kinda shadow him through out most of the fall. The button buck could travel as far as50-100 miles away from its normal home range. I read this all in a book I just read the other day
