[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5491512, member: 20583"] Deer mourn. Many animals do. We don't always recognize it because we're self centered humans. But watch nature long enough and you'll see your reflection everywhere. I've heard of bucks attacking dead bucks but haven't seen it. I have had the unfortunate experience of seeing deer mourn, though. It's heartbreaking. I shot a buck once and the doe he was with came back and began circling him, then nudging his back. I thought that was horrible enough but then other does and a young forky came into the field and encircled the buck for what seemed an eternity before slowly going back where they came. The only way I can rationalize it was a funeral procession. No idea what goes through a deer's mind, but there was no other way to describe what I saw. [/QUOTE]
