Ok I work on a 7800 acre Military base on the Illinois-Indiana border, on the Indiana side,and it's loaded with deer, and BIG deer at that...So in the last few weeks I've seen sparring, actuall throw downs, and one chase sequence, and then last night there were 2 130" range deer having a face off and I mean nose to nose, with 2 Doe's watching, Igo anddo my job (about an hour) then drive back by and those 2 bucks are both bedded down with her. I always thought the Doe's avoided bucks at all cost this time of year unless ready or near ready to be breed?
