This is what I call “shadowing”…….The bucks move into places where they know there are concentrations of does and begin to shadow or trail the groups around waiting for the first ones to come into heat. I usually see this change occur around Jan 7……There probably are a handful of outliers does popping off already
I’d say that is spot on with what I’ve seen the past few days. No “chasing” or “dogging” the doe quite yet, just casually following the doe without his nose to the ground.
