No, he’s going to find the first receptive doe then will tend her for up to two days, laid up in the thickest stuff they can find. Think weekend at the cheap motel. Odds are you aren’t gonna see either of them in that timeframe. Once she’s done, he will move on to the next one. Those periods in between he will do laps around the property looking for a doe in standing estrous, the longer that takes the more time he is going to be on his feet and killable. The more does there are, the shorter those windows get, and the longer it takes for them all to be bred. Once they quit coming into estrous, which could take up to two months if the ratio is really bad, he has to gain back all the weight he lost from basically only eating motel vending machine chips inbetween shack ups before he can prioritize antler growth.

Very informative post told with easy to relate to analogies. Love it!

After reading all these posts from what I consider a group of pretty experienced hunters, I feel better about our own inability to reach a consensus. One thing that is clear, is we need to take more does.
