Sounds to me like an over anxious youngster trying to get in there before the big boys start pushin him around. I really doubt that the doe is in esterus already.

Heck my black lab does the nasty with stuffed animals, and i know for sure they aren' t in heat!

This post reminds me of an old story passed down from my grandfather about " A young bull and an old bull" .


A young bull and an old bull are standing on top of a hill in a pasture looking down at a herd of cows. The young bull looks at the old bull and says, " Lets run down and mate with one of those cows. The old bull scoffs, looks at the young bull and says, " How bout' we walk down and mate with them all!" .
