Buck with hangover
At my usual spot this morning a 5 am. heard deer when it was dark yet. some does bleating and a buck grunting. By 9 am I seen nothing.the rut is on in Pa. but is so hot.I was wondering where are all the deer I seen last night in the fields surrounding the place I hunt. I seen 87 last night with the spot light. Anyway right after 9 am I see a movement a buck,I big buck! He is not coming my way. He was walking slow ,he acted like his legs were 50 lbs,His mouth was open and breathing hard His head was hung low and just shuffling along. He even stumbled once. I used the can,that usually gets some reaction in rut. Well he stopped looked up and just hung his head and stumbled off. He looked terrible. He was sweating,all roughed up with a cut on his neck. quess he had a bad night. He looked like <you got to be kidding Momma when I gave him the doe in heat bleat. A rut hangover,I dont think he had that hawian disease either
