RE: Do younger bucks start chasing before the BIG BOYS?
I have noticed the same thing with the smaller bucks first then the bigger ones later in the season. BUT, like posted in one of the posts above I think the big bucks arent fully rutting yet so they do most of their chasing at night and are by no means out of the picture. Then when they get a little more hot for the does they start to slacken up a bit showing themselves more during daylight hours.
