Whitetail Deer Buck and Doe Rut Behavior

This video shows a whitetail deer couple as they go through the rut period in the backwoods of the Smoky Mountains. We had a wonderful time with this couple alone in the woods, the doe was quite playful with the buck and he is a nice 10 point buck. At one point there was a challenger, but the buck took care of him.

That bucks a stud. Big old deer. Happy to see he's alive. And I'm sure that old doe sought him out. Great video.

The video cuts away at 4:05. Looks like the videographer edited out the money shot.

Its species name virginianus is a throwback to its first Latin name Dama virginiana, which means Virginian fallow deer. As all deer have crescent-shaped molars, I think the reason white-tailed and mule deer were placed in the genus Odocoileus, which means hollow tooth, is because they were found to have different features from fallow deer. Can you believe all of that?

Were you just sitting there in camo running the camera? Or was it a remote control camera?

[@faulltw]

I can just hear that doe "Dear, I think I heard a noise. Oh geeze you are always hearing something, OK, I will go check it out." :)
