[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1771148, member: 30902"] My experience tells me the old bucks aren't necessarily all that smart. If anything they may have heightened senses and are much spookier than those that don't make it to old age. Speaking of the youngsters... . Tonight I watched a very nice very big 8pt, probably a 5.5-6.5yo deer with six does. I've been watching this particularly buck for 3 or 4 years, always in the same area, always with the same does. Apparently one of the girls isn't quite in but is smelling nice and she led him on quite a chase ending up about 40 yards from where I was hiding in the broom weed. Finally I just stood up and went "Bahhhh!". he nearly did a back flip. The doe was between us and at first she ran towards him but he got after her again and chased her almost back in my lap. His rack hasn't gotten any better in a couple of years, very tall, very long tines but pretty narrow and something of what we call a "Basket Rack". If he was any better, he probably would no longer be alive because he's not very bright and a hot smelling doe totally wipes out his other senses. [/QUOTE]
