Love In The Autumn Air

This short, silent, video vignette was captured at the very beginning of November.

That is a dandy buck chasing a girl deer - and if I'm not mistaken he's got loving on his mind.  And she's either playing hard-to-get or attempting to beat it out of Dodge.

Female whitetails generally come into estrus within a shared window of opportunity beginning in mid-October into mid-December.  Gestation is around 200 days with fawn drop beginning in April and into June.  Unbred does will come into heat again 28 days later.
