here are always more does in the herd than bucks. If you have a herd full of bucks, you don’t have a herd, because there isn’t any does to pass on the genetic material.

Not necessarily. I always have been an avid hunter. Most of us West Virginians are. Throughout the spring, buck deer hang out together. The does group up and have their young. The bucks want nothing to do with that.

Jump ahead to Autumn. The days are getting shorter, and the buck deer are shedding the velvet off of their antlers. They aren’t hanging out quite as much, but buck deer are still somewhat running together. Now, add a doe that just happened to come in heat a little earlier than the rest and BAM. A lot of buck deer hanging around her. The bucks haven’t became too territorial yet due to it being so early in the fall, so they will still tolerate each other.

And as far as them not being the same breed…. pffft. Those are all obviously White-Tailed Deer.
