unusual sights?

This past week my buddy saw a doe stand for a button buck, last week we saw 2 bucks with antlers, fighting in the middle of the afternoon, 1 got a antler snapped off at the base. It was broken, not shed. Both small racked 6pts. Seems mighty late for this kind of activity.  sam

Not unusual for doe fawns to come into estroes in January and the scrubs are mostly all that are left to do the breeding. I've seen fresh scrapes as late as March 24 since the introduction of AR/HR. There may have been some activity like that before AR/HR although I never witnessed it. Interesting that Alts stated goal was to keep the breeding in a narrow window in Nov so all the fawns would be dropped at the same time in early spring. This would keep the predators from killing so many and give them a longer summer to grow. Must be another one of his "Mistakes Will Be Made". Tells us to target the adult does (that breed in Nov)while the mature bucks are still around, and don't shoot the fawns(that breed in Dec/Jan)when scrubs are left to breed.
