Default Re: A rare sight!

Right now you'll still be seeing the bucks together in bachelor groups, once saw a bachelor group here of about thirty bucks. Looked like a moving forest of antlers.
In a few weeks the groups will start breaking up into smaller informal groups with a larger buck usually with a couple of up and comers hanging around. Once the punami goes into estrus all bets are off and the big boys are constantly running off the shorts trying to sniff some.
As we all know its tough work keeping on top of a harem ;)
Usually the deer you see and refer to as albinos are actually piebolds, which are not true albinos with pink eyes and solid white. Piebolds are more common and dont have the eyes and will have at least some spots of brown on them.
Other deer in the heard will usually ostrisize them because they are easy to see in the woods and draw attention to the group even when they are not moving around. Thats a
NFG in nature.
