Title: Pre-rut action?
Post by: bb76 on October 10, 2024, 11:44:03 AM

Pre-rut action or just two does messing around? I can't make out any antlers. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20241010/de56e57db1467e1d9e74aee6d86a4b29.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20241010/da6b2b46fe85fbccbec647c4ca0eff74.jpg)

Just squabbling, or showing dominance

I saw a spike bull this week go from trying to mount a cow to 10 minutes later drop on his knees and started milking from the cow. It took all I had not to laugh when they were less than 10 yards away.

On the blacktail deer note I saw a 2x2 buck tending a doe in a cut yesterday during daylight hours. Saw a 5x5 buck in daylight in the morning by himself earlier this week in a cut. Then saw a big 2x2 with eyeguards cruising hard in a neighborhood a bit after dark.
