This post relates to something that happened this weekend. I'm sure some already know the story.
I notice a nice 8 pointer in the field about 150 yards out while on stand the other night. He was eating honeysuckles but I thought he was getting ready to make a scrape. I was thinking licking branch at the time.[&:]Anyway, I make several grunts until I got his attention. He was definitely interested and he made his way around the field edge into the woods that I was in. The whole time he was in my area...he had his tail straight up. No, he wasn't peeing or pooing or running on high alert.
Is this a sign of dominance, anger, or curiosity? Never seen this before unless a deer was "relieving" itself or running away.
