I got night pics of bucks following does last weekend but no daytime activity. I thought my rut was wrapped up on my place. Maybe a few ofthe young ones are coming In

Its kind of like saturday night at the bar....all the young hot heads are pushing each other around to see who is the alpha male
Looks like they are just pushing each other around. Seen em do it in trail cam pics before and after rut.
They do look like they will be some nice bucks though, if left alone to grow another season or two.

They are not fighting, thats just personal hygiene.

Hard to tell on low quality pictures....but is that a wound behind the left shoulder blade of the bigger buck on the right?

isn't after the rut, like 30days??? you will have does that were not touched by bucks come into heat...

so wouldn't that put the bucks into some kind of small territorial dispute again...

i may be wrong.

I'd kind of forgot about the second rut coming up, at the end of the year.
