We've seen this buck a lot in the past two months and since Sunday he has been here every day and almost all day chasing the does up and down the hill.
Today I was up in the woods with the tractor and I spotted him about 20 yards from the path. He stood just looking at me as if to say, I'm too tired to run and hide.
I went back to the house for lunch and he showed up herding a doe, but she flew across the hill and left him in the dust.
I hate to give human traits to animals but he just looked so damn beat and too whipped to continue chasing.
So he wandered over to the edge of the woods, looked back at the house 30 yards away and bedded down. He almost went fully asleep. His head would dip and then he'd catch it and perk back up. He took about a thirty minute rest and then got up and resumed scouting out does.
Here's the sequence:
