RE: Have you ever seen deer mating (breeding) in the wild while on a hunt?
 

Yup. I saw a nice 10 pt mount a little doe this year. They were about 40 yards away. I told gf later that I saw 'deer porn' this morning. :D Too bad I didn't have a camera with me! Of course, I got the 10pt about a month later at 13 yards so I guess it evens out.

November 2000 I saw a large 8 pointer over 200lbs, with a 24" spread mount a doe, about 45min. later she walked under me, with the buck, I shot him with the bow but he ran layed down for 20mins got up and walked away we looked for 3 days never found him

I saw two deer pass my stand before daylight. I thought the first deer was behind me, my head was itching, so I scratched my head. The deer saw me somehow and spooked. It later started raining and I got out of my treestand and stillhunted towards the deer.

I saw the doe and an 8 pointer about 150 yards away. It was pouring rain, but I tried to make the shot and missed. A few minutes later the buck mounted the doe. It was the first time I have seen it happen in the wild. They ran off a little way; the buck stayed right with the doe. I shot again, and again I missed! I mouth grunted and the doe brought the buck my way. This time I did not miss the shot; the buck ran a short distance and collapsed.

A few days later I was driving up the four lane and glanced over towardds the edge of the woods and there was a buck mounting a doe! I could not believe I saw this happen twice, and in the span of a few days.

How the heck do you know it had a 24" spread if you didn't get him?!?!

havent seen it while hunting but I did see it happen 2 years ago while driving the backroads from my house to my hunting spot. i was driving past a cut bean field and saw a doe being chased but a nice 8pt and 2 small bucks. i pulled over and watched them for a while right out in the open when the big buck finally chased the other 2 small ones off and mounted her. he ended up mounting her 3 times in all. the chase took place all over the huge field but the grand finale happened within 50yds of me. pretty cool

RE: Have you ever seen deer mating (breeding) in the wild while on a hunt?
 

Funny you ask. I have never seen it until this year. I set and watched deer porn from a bluff this year. I watched a real nice 10 point mount a doe. Once he had finished, I shot him. It was the least I could do.:D

Lol burnie, i guees if I had to go, I would prefer to go out like that to.

RE: Have you ever seen deer mating (breeding) in the wild while on a hunt?
 

never saw them breeding but have seen casual sex

RE: Have you ever seen deer mating (breeding) in the wild while on a hunt?
 

bob d that is good.

In the pictures, the deer may not be trying to breed but simply expressing dominance over the other. In many animals, that is one way they show who is dominant.

Or they could just be sweet on each other.

well with 24yrs of deer hunting experience you know these things, plus not knowing a friend & his son was hunting lower on the mountain then me they both saw the deer, and when I came down to my truck I saw them, and before I could say anything the father said that they saw a huge body buck with a 24" spread come from my area, answer you question?

You have to supply the background music for them...it helps them concentrate (..bow chicka bow bow )

RE: Have you ever seen deer mating (breeding) in the wild while on a hunt?
 

LOL Firehawk...

I saw it twice. Shot one afterwords with a rifle. The other was while bowhunting. I was within 50-60 yards and couldn't see an antler at all.

Maybe it was a button buck...or maybe it was a Rosie O'Donnel deer. Nope...it was under 300 pounds, had to be a button buck.:D

RE: Have you ever seen deer mating (breeding) in the wild while on a hunt?
 

Saw a decent 6 I was going to take at about 80 yds but the vitals were obscured by a tree. Next thing it moves forward and now I'm looking at it and there are no antlers. What the heck? Then I see both heads and realize whats going on. I had a doe permit but was just waiting for the buck to uh expose himself. I waited and watched figuring when they were done I would get the shot. HA. they moved off directly away from me, with the tree between myself and them, no shot. Now thats what I call hunting. :)

RE: Have you ever seen deer mating (breeding) in the wild while on a hunt?
 

I have seen it once. It was cool. I sure wish I could get permission to hunt that area again.

About 10 years ago I watched a small spike buck chase a doe from one end of a bean field to the other. That little buck chased that doe for a good 10 minutes before she could finally go no further. When she finally stopped the little buck wasn't quite tall enough to do any "real damage". It was funny watching him rest his chin on her rump and lift himself up kicking one of his back legs in an attempt to do "the nasty" I kinda felt sorry for the poor guy.

RE: Have you ever seen deer mating (breeding) in the wild while on a hunt?
 

I've chased these furry critters for 20 years now (and have be exposed to ALOT of deer on managed land in mulitple states for that entire period) and just this season in MO I saw a pair "get it on" for the first time in my life. The buck was a nice 16" 2.5 yr old 7ptr and the doe had a button buck with her. The buck was already in the foodplot (about a 3 acre clover patch) with several other small bucks and about 10 does and fawns.

When the doe entered the field the 7ptr went too her and then chased her for over 10 minutes. ALLOVER the plot, end too end, into the woods, out of the woods. I mean chased her like a bird dog. BUT the first thing I noticed was that the doe had her tail held out perfectly parallel too the ground for the entire time that I saw her. She finally stopped in the middle of the plot and the buck successfully mounted her, did his thing and then walked circles around her for 10 minutes afterward and wouldn't let another deer within 20yds of her (including her own buttonhead). Strangely she didn't move from that exact spot for over 10 minutes. She just stood there hunkered in one spot. Finally she began to move about and the buck left her for other deer and areas in the foodplot. Then an equally sized (rack) 8ptr who was OBVIOUSLY much older and massive, walked into the plot. But the 8 had busted his main beam off right above the G1. The 7ptr came over and began posturing, hair raised, heads went down and I thought I was about to see a brawl. LOL the 8ptr kept his full side facing the 7ptr and really puffed himself up. The 7ptr would get close but never get directly in front of or touch the older buck.

The 8 then went too the doe that was just bred and chased her into the woods and they were gone for the rest of the afternoon (cheap slut!). I think I heard the 7ptr laughing at the old buck and mumblin sumpin bout sloppy seconds...

Hey Red I had no idea you ever got over here to MO!Do you bring your boat?

RE: Have you ever seen deer mating (breeding) in the wild while on a hunt?
 

I saw it for the first and only time last year. A big yearling 9 point chased a doe over the hill right to my stand and they stopped about 50 yards away and did it. If they had gotten closer I was gonna shoot the doe but they never did. They went behind me and came back 10 minutes later and did it again. then they went back over the hill the way they came. A week or two later my dad shot him.

I have seen a three legged buck mount a doe this year but is was the first time I had ever seen that.
