When you guys say chasing do you mean a buck checking does off a field then moving on to another group or are yall talking about 1 buck locked onto one doe who just stays with her wherever she goes? The first example is prerut imo the 2nd example or mature deer just dissappearing (breeding) is the rut or actual breeding period imo. Lots of folks call bucks busting out and clearing a green field or chasing around a family group of does the rut but I was taught that happens 10-14 days before actual breeding.
