I'd have shot mom too (I understand why you didn't). But in my area, I'd have shot her. Then the buck would have stayed in your area and grown into a BOONER!!!

Exactly! It's Mother Natures wayto keep him from inbreeding.

Its more than likely her fawn, this is the time of the year when mamma will start pushing their young ones away to go join other herds for genetic reasons. i see it all the time this time of the year.

Jim, reminds me of what a big bull did to a small cow he was tending too 2 seasons ago.. Rybo, Bowhnt and J all got be a part of it. J was the closest to the big herd bull we were trying to kill. J said that bull would run up to the young cow and just hammer her with his antlers in the side to move her where he wanted her to go..

Definatley like Diesel said.. TOUGH LUV!

i would have shot mama and put some meat in the freezer. They will push the young males away when they are old enough to be on there own

Troubled childhood?

I don't know why but laughed so hard.

I find it amazing that so many of you guys have seen this so many times. Neither my father nor I have ever seen this before. He has been deer hunting for over 35 years, and I have been at it over 20. That is neat that you all have been able to see it before. This being my first was an eye opening experience. I honestly thought it was less physical and was just sort of an instinctual thing on both sides to part ways.

Troy, that is amazing. You would think that a 600 pound bull ramming a cow with his antlers could really injure her. My goodness animals are tough. I guarentee I would have been crippled by one of those blows.

The doe was trying to chase the buck out of her area, does do this so there is no in breeding in there family groups. Natures way of making for a strong herd.

ida shot her
