Here's one of my favorites..."Bucks are smarter than does." I think that's a bunch of bull. First of all, almost hunting areas have less bucks than does and so naturally bucks are going to be harder to find. I hunted an area where and old mature doe would seek me out and stand off at a distance and warn other deer by snorting and blowing and all the while staying out of range. I can't say I've ever seen a buck do that. Come the rut, an old mature buck lets his guard down and gets as silly as a button buck. That ain't smart. Does tend to herd together and their safety is in numbers because of more eyes and ears to detect danger. I think wisdom comes with age and does probably live longer on the average than bucks.
