Im guessing 5-10 more days before a lot of breeding goes on.
Well, I can definetly say they are chasing, and to be honest I didnt think they were, until today. I work off of Hwy 41 and Shawano ave, heavy city, we have this "Back 40" we use for spare parts etc. and I get a call, and go to investigate, and sure as hell 3 Bucks (2 eights and one broken 6) were chasing a doe around the "Back 40", from the edge of the highway, and back. NEVER have I seen deer in that area in my 18 yrs of working there. So they are chasing.
