Default RE: The Dominant buck....What happens?

ORIGINAL: GMMAT

Shed:

I really never see bucks until after the Summer feeding patterns are well over and they're on the mast crops. Or.....I never really see bucks until the seeking phase. I've always attributed that to the food.....but who knows. I know they frequent my mineral site......but other than that.....I hardly EVER see a buck of ANY age in my woods.

I'm just intrigued to know what happens when any buck is taken out of the herd......and especially intrigued when the potnetial (or actual) dominant buck is removed.

Thanks for your reply, Troy. "Maybe" all of this info. will come in handy in my future hunting endeavors.
Jeff I think you can contribute not seeing any/many bucks in your area until later on in the year to the summer vs. winter "home" area. (Good news for you since hunting season is during their "winter".)

Deer will have a primary summer home and also a primary winter home. Sounds like you have the winter home tied up.
