[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5028996, member: 20583"] How could they not know? They spar around & size each other up for a reason, or several reasons. But there's no way coming out of it a big buck doesn't know he's big. I was in stand watching several deer in the corner of a field. They were way out of bow range so all I could do is watch. There was one big guy, two young guys, and several does. A big male bobcat came strolling out amongst them, spooking almost all of them away, except for the big guy.He put his head to the ground, tines out, and charged that cat. He chased it into the woods and all the deer settled back down. Doesn't seem all that significant but I've seen other bucks and does chase cats before, and they do it by charge stomping & bluffing. This buck used his horns. He knew what he had and knew how to use them. I've never seen a young buck do that. Heck, I've never seen any buck do that besides when fighting one another. But he did it. That means he was aware of his crown. Could he put an inches value on it? Of course not. But he knew he was top dog and executed that dominant role like a bull does with his cows & calves. [/QUOTE]
