There is an old saying about the "false" rut. Bowriter can explain that better than I can if he reads this thread. Way to early for actual all out chasing, but one or two doe can go into estrous about this time. Still very exciting to watch regardless.

Just remember that not all yearling bucks are chased off by their mothers. Some doe social groups will contain adult does, their fawns from this year and a few fawns from last year which are now yearlings, both male and female. The yearling bucks will be lowest on the social ladder hence be religated to following at the "end of the line" as the group travels.
I don't know how many times I've heard hunters say they say a yearling buck "chasing" a whole group of does, when what they really witnessed was a doe social grouping running along with the lone male yearling bringing up the tail end of the line. The buck wasn't chasing, he was following the pack.

Young buck feeling his oats. I'll bet the older bucks are off in the shadows watching...laughing their butt off.

Bucks are ready...but the ones who have done this before know its still way too early. Does arent even close. You will start to see more bucks in and around does as the next couple weeks pass.

I gree with you I have seen 2 different 6 points both with a doe and a fawn in both ocasions the bucks were being playful in a manner that the doe wasn't putting up with.
