Bucks together???
 

hey does anyone know if bucks traveling together is considered strange?? because over the past couple of days have seen spots on a plot where more than one buck has cross. one time i could have two bucks together, but they were too far away. i know that one was a buck for sure.

It's not uncommon at all to see bucks traveling together after the secondary rut. While bowhunting in early Sept. 1990 I saw three six point or better walking together.
We jumped five in a brier thicket three weeks ago running dogs. Deer are after all are social animals. The rut seperates the bucks but after that they're all one happy family again.

yeah but the weird thing is that it is in the middle of rut down here and i see bucks traveling together. is that strange to see bucks together during rut.

I don't think that it is strange, are you seeing them in a feeding area. They may just be coming out together to feed. Do you see these bucks in the company of does. Are you seeing the same bucks together. Perhaps theycould be young bucks that are twins and not started life on their own yet. I don't think that it is anything out of the onrdinary.

P.S. Happiness is a large gut pile

i have never seen bucks together at this time of year

Buck Deer and Bull Elk usually run in bachelor groups all year except during the rut. The younger bucks and bulls learn from the older ones, and the older ones use the younger ones for protection. Several times I've seen early season hunters flush a bachelor group of bucks only to have the younger ones make a lot of racket and bust out of wherever and the the older one sneaks quietly out the back door and no one knows he's there. It's not at all uncommon. <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>
