I was up in my Pole Barn Shooting House last night just watching the wildlife enjoying a cold and so forth. I watched a very nice 8 point buck come by in one direction, then a few minutes later 3 doe came by the edge of the field in the other direction. A few minutes later the buck came back and he appeared to be interested in one of the does. He followed her a while, then finally left out of sight.
While the other two doe just kept on browsing, about 5 minutes later another 8 point buck (with the right side antler gone) came by in the same direction of the other buck and then he immediately followed the same doe trail, with his nose going to the ground every couple steps. Both bucks seemed really interested in that one doe.
So are does still running around here in heat and will bucks still breed with them right now? I live 10 miles north of the AL/TN border at I-65.
