[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5506788, member: 20583"] Yeah I don't personally think a big dominant stud buck makes his rounds to all the does as much as some folks seem to think. Does aren't waiting their turn with him. What I've seen is that bulks of does come into heat at the same time, making it impossible for one buck to breed them all. I'm sure there's a natural selection cause for it to work that way. Logically it would go a long ways in preventing inbreeding because none of the fawns in that herd will be closely related due to all sharing a common father. But I really don't know. Something uncanny I have seen play out is an older buck showing out of the blue and hanging around one particular doe for a week or so, then disappearing again not to be seen until the following year doing almost exactly the same thing, presumably with the same doe. It sure seems as if he knows her, knows when she's gonna heat up, and plans his visit accordingly. I can only assume he moves from lady to lady in that manner, which would also explain why older bucks seem to suddenly appear then a few days later suddenly disappear. That's not their core. It's just a girlfriend in another town. Or at least that's how I make sense of it. [/QUOTE]
