ACK!! A GUN KILL... A GUN KILL... WARNING, WILL ROBINSON... DANGER, DANGER!! :D :D Ha.... Nice deer, buddy! Hope you have thos bigguns move back in on you next year!
I for one think your theory may hold a lot of water Jim. I have watched dominant male animals a lot. If you have never done this (except with deer), you owe it to yourself to do so. A less than dominant animal will play 4 kinds of hell trying to horn in on a dominant male's territory. Seen it a lot. Nice buck too.
