Some of you may already know the slang of the rut. But for those who don't, never fear, I am going to tell you. The next time you are hunting with the Big Dogs you will know what they are talking about. Rut - This is the time when deer are breeding.
Bucks come out of hiding and start chasing Does.
Bucks separate from their groups and start making scrapes and rubs. They also get into little battles. It really depends on what the Buck to Doe Ratio is . If there are a lot of Bucks and very few does the Bucks will battle big time. Scrapes - A scrape is when a Buck paws at the ground and gets the soil worked up.
