Is it common to have a doe walk out in the open to get away from a chasing buck, not to feed but just to get away because she knows he will be hesitant to follow her.

two years ago in a different area i was on a tripod in january, when i noticed a doe at 250yards standing in the open staring at the woodline.(not a food plot just a field) For two hours she stood there staring, hardly moved, and did not eat. Turns out she was staring at a ten point that was just out of sight. He finally charged her and i killed him. There is not a doubt in my mind the doe went in that field to escape harrasment, she knew the buck would be hesitant to follow

Do yall think this is common
