Default RE: Deer adopted me!
ORIGINAL: TimberCreek

I have hunted for close to 30 years and harvestedsomewhere around 60 deer. In all this time I have not learned as much about deer behavior as I have spending hours and hours with this guy.There is one thing he does that puzzles me if someone knows the answer? He sometimes will headbutt me in the groin or legs and rub his head on my pant legs until I scratch him. Is this a way of him trying to show dominance, markingme with his scentglands or just his way of getting my attention?Any help?


IMO he just wants scratched,i had a lab that did that all the time.If you were sitting down he would stick his head in between your arm and body and lift your arm up.
