Nope, Mr Yox was making that comment about wild deer. In my opinion, wild bucks breed every doe they can get to stand, but remember, with as many bucks out there, and all does cycling at about the same time, its just not possible for one buck to catch them all. Thats why overpopulated areas see a decrease in trophy potential. The reason why they so often travel outside their normal range is looking for those first few receptive does before they all come into cycle. Once a doe is in heat, a buck very likely will stand by her and breed her as many times as she will stand for him. What do you suppose is happening to all the other receptive does at that time, while he has her sequestered, seperated from the herd, to breed? Hes going from one to the next, but hes not going to service them all, and they wont cycle again for another 30 days.

In captivity we often give him X number of does to breed, but hes by himself with no bucks to run off, so he gets the job done a bit easier. I dont want to sound argumentative, just offer another opinion for you guys to consider.
