[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5588919, member: 20583"] I hope you're right. But at least consider the possibility that perhaps your property hadn't yet met full carry capacity so there was room for new deer. At some point in recent years that limit has been reached and is now beginning to overflow. But what's spilling out isn't random. It's your bucks. They're steadily but assuredly being pushed further & further into the periphery and it's only a matter of time before they're no longer welcome on your property at all. Those girls are viciously territorial. Bucks and does do not coexist, especially when resources have to be rationed like this year's failed mast crop. They naturally self segregate with does & fawns taking priority choice of habitat. It's just nature doing what nature does. Like I say, I hope I'm wrong and this isn't what you're experiencing. I don't like being a Debbie Downer. And perhaps we'll have a lush summer that leads to a fall flush with mast, and everything will be back to normal. One can hope. But keep an eye out for markers that indicate over dominating does. [/QUOTE]
