They also aren't fond of getting their asses kicked every time THE buck of the woods comes by. Downwind side of doe bedding areas....during the seeking/chasing stage.....and you've got a good chance. During lockdown......all bets are off. I wouldn't know where to begin to look for a buck, then. I'm also "guessing" a hot doe wouldn't necessarily breed in her normal bedding area (exact area). I would imagine the buck would pin her down in the best thicket available (closest one....lol), and try to hold her there until she isn't hot anymore.
