huntingson, I'm right there with ya and it pulls the ole heart strings. It's mother nature at it's best and worst. Last year I had a button on his own like that. I could count on him to come to the food plot looking for companionship. I could call him in from 100's of yards with bleats...he'd come in bleating his poor little heart off. I wonder if any of the 1.5 yr old bucks I see this year are him? I don't know if he was in his home range or came from another?
I guess it makes me a hypocrit, but I feel sorry for the young ones. Now if he was 3 years older...
I have seen adult does fight each other and that didn't get to me at all. I guess it was just getting abused by his own mother who 2 weeks ago did everything for him and now he is thinking "WTF Mom?".
