I know what I saw this morning on the way to church but I am not sure it was what I think it was!!! I live in NE Texas, Camp co, about 40 miles north of Longview. On FM 1521 about a mile from Hwy 11, my wife and I saw a doe jump 2 fences going across the road and behind her was 2 BUCKS, one was a nice 8 pt and the other a spike, maybe a 4 pt just got a glimpse of him. Do you think that doe was in heat this late in the year??? A nice buck in the daylight hours behind a doe. What do you make of it?

Yes it is possible and it could have been an early born doe fawn or a doe that did not get bred yet.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

As long as a buck has antlers, he is able and wiiling to breed. Does can come into their first estrous cycle as early as 6 months old.
Thank you...thank you very much

Late February of 2004 in Llano on a hog hunt, I watched several bucks chasing does over the course of three days.Very odd indeed.

I think what you saw were a doe, running , with two bucks behind it, also running. I see it all the time. Doesn't really indicate anything.

Could be like Huntmaster said or the others. If there is a doe in heat around, there will be a buck or two ready to take care of her. Doesn't matter when or where.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

There's a pretty strong rut going on at the Kerr co ranch now. Several bucks chasing several does. Not just yearling does either.
Had a couple of fawns born in late October this year. Do the math, they'll still be breeding in late march.

Possible but not probable.
Most areas have a 60-70 day cycle with about a 10-12 day "Peak of the Rut" in the middle. During that 60-70 days most all the does get bred. That being said, does will come into heat every 28 days if not bred, but I don't know if that continues into the late spring and summer.

Just because you've never seen it doesn't mean it's not possible...

I have seen quite a few late born fawns over the years, by late I mean Sept or October. I have found 2 bucks locked up and dead from fighting the first week in March. They had been dead only a day or two when buzzards alerted me to them. Doe fawns only need to get to a certain weight to be able to heat cycle. In a year like this one with all the rainfall they grew very quickly. Here is a picture taken on 11-9-2010.

We had an extremely late rut this year in south texas. Our bucks didn't start really running hard core till January. A little activity in late December, but the hard running started in January from what we can tell.
