RE: Slightly funny "chasing" scenario
For the record .....(and I have NO WAY of "knowing")....but I'd be VERY surprised if this doe was "hot". She let him get really close.....and his and her behavior didn't lead me to believe she was in estrous. I think it was just a case of a young buck (1.5yrs) not knowing what to do with his pent up desires.
If she was hot....she wasn't reeptive .....to him. Doesn't mean she wasn't....i understand...but it's awful early.
