Bachelor Bucks
You’ve probably seen them but without knowing the term they were just a couple two or three bucks all running together. In truth these bucks that form a group together for a short period in the late summer or early fall are called Bachelor Bucks. True to their name they won’t be sticking around the guys for too long. They get a sense of their competition so to speak during a time when the urge to breed is becoming more apparent. Often these bucks will display their dominance in subtle gestures as well as the occasional sparring match before breaking off and going their separate ways. If they meet again later in the season during a breeding period it’s highly likely that they will have already sorted out who is the king of this part of the forest with first choice of breeding rights.
