I like when they are running all over the place chasing, which is pre-rut.
The few times that I have actually seen the deed done, chasing was involved. Maybe not to a great extent but the doe would be chased and then She would stop, kinda stretch out like She was going to urinate and the buck would just walk up on Her. One time the doe laid down and the buck kind stood guard for a little, then after a while he nudged her with his antlers and bred her again. He did this 4 times and then an automobile came down a nearby gravel road and spooked them off. He was a nice buck but not the biggest in the area, and I though maybe the activity would bring a bigger one to use my last tag on. I got quite a show. Another time I killed the buck right after he bred the doe. If the light had been better, the herd would have been benefited if I had killed him before breeding, as he was pretty much a cull. miles
