RE: Late Rut
Yesterday behind my house I watched several deer. The lead deer was a doe and seemed to be in a hurry. She was followed by several other deer. I noticed the one was a buck which dropped half of his rack (small 4 point).When they got closer to by house (right behind my elevated deck) the doe stopped. As she stopped, the deer behind her tried to mount her. I noticed this deer was also a buck which recently lost his horns. The doe didn't seem to be to thrilled by this and nervously moved away quickly. I know this is hard to believe but I watched it with my own eyes.
