What is this deer doing?

[Huntbear]

Maybe she was strutting her stuff for a buck that was off camera??

Maybe, but this was the only buck around:

That there is one lumpy deer. I think she was presenting her um... You know what, to a buck off frame. Either that or farting.

[JJB11B]

I think she is dropping a massive Duece!

Hey Bobcat do you have any pix of the deer in the first pic from straight on where you can see the top of its head?  It's a young deer no doubt, all legs, no body, and very short snout.  In the first pic it looks like a young toehead.  Only reason I say is a buddy had a pet blacktail buck, and its first year just had two white spots up top, but if you rubbed them you could feel the lumps.  It's running free now on an island in the Columbia.  Cool pix, sounds like a lot of action.

One of the triplet deer in my yard does that weird hunching-up thing quite often too.  I can't really figure out why she does it; I've seen her do it when she was cold and shivering and then she would hunch-up like that for several minutes......

I'll have to look. There are 565 pictures to look through. But I wouldn't be surprised if that deer is a young buck. This is a spot where I've had cameras since October 1st, and a doe out there is very rare for some reason. With all the pictures I got I have identified at least 7 different bucks, and then I killed a buck out there that wasn't even one I had a picture of.

I wish I had a quarter of the action your having, I need to go check mine today and possible move it.  Like H20 my spot is marked to log, and hope it hasnt started yet.  Keep em coming.

Glad I got mine out when I did. Wigeondeke has my cam out at his buddies place. They are trying to solve the disappearing chicken and goat mystery!

[Wildsau]

If you look, real close, you may see that the deer is streching.  I've seen other BT, as sell as some WT do the same thing.

[Blackfoot]

I think your "she" may be a "he".  It looks like he may have shed his antlers already.

[Bantams]

Cows will stretch like that.
But usually they do the opposite - they duck their backs down, not up.  Sometimes if they hunch their back it's a sign of internal pain, such as a wire in the stomach.

[antlerman]

I would guess the deer is looking at a bug or mouse that you cannot see.
