Dominance is relative. It depends on who's around. Don't think for one minute that a 2 1/2 won't breed a doe if he thinks he can get away with it.[:-]
If he knows a big guy's around, things will be different.
Exactly right! Both bucks I killed this year weighed 140-145 lbs! I heard the snort-wheeze from both of these bucks before I put them down. They were both the most aggressive bucks in the area, in fact one of them had a split hoof and was limping, from so much aggressive chasing. I can guarantee that they were not the heaviest bucks in the area, but they were the most dominate due to their aggressive behavior!
