ready to be brought into this world.
Since Sunday, I have seen the mature does by me here chasing their faws from last year away(Typically the Buck Yearling), so they can prepare for this years new additions. Tonight I watched a very pregnant mature doe chase her fawns and other does away from her bedding area across the street, and almost had a few of them hit by cars as they were chased to my side of the road. This went on for a good 20 minutes.
When I went to my back yard and looked into the wood lot behind me, I had the two yearlings(One is a Buck) that hang around here bedded in their bedding area, but the mom wasn't anywhere near them. 15 minutes later, as I was working in my yard, I heard a commotion and saw the mature doe, chasing them out of the area as well. She specifically was chasing her young buck yearling.
For the past several years, this has been the normal routine a few weeks before they give birth by me here.
Anyone else seeing any does acting in this manner?
