I saw 7 bucks swarming one doe last year. I watched them chase her for about 4 hours. I thought to myself, "Girl, you'd better run because you are about to get hurt!"

Does only get hounded for a few days, then are pretty well left alone, bucks continue on fighting and running until secondary rut and even later when yearlings come in.

I saw 6 or 7 deer this morning, same place I saw them yesterday. All does and fawns, all calmly feeding in picked beans.

Saw just one doe all weekend, 6 or 7 different bucks and a button buck. Does seem to be hiding here right now, not quite that time just yet, bucks are definitely cruising though.
