I have an interesting theory that I want everyone opinion on.
I keep my trail camera out all year long and set to video. For the past two years in the late fall (Dec on) and from early spring to mid summer I get the does and fawns hanging around this one area. Then come late summer, a young buck that is now 2.5 years old starts showing up. The doe videos start to get scarce, they look nervous on the camera for a couple of evenings and then disappear completely. The buck starts to show up almost every day. This is close to an old grown up orchard and is right around the time that the apples begin to hit the ground.
I think that he is driving the does away from the food source and keeping it for himself. Has anyone else experienced this?
