I have just recently moved to Red Deer for work so needless to say all of my spare time has been spent exploring and glassing.(never seen deer #s like this) The other afternoon I spent about two hours watching a HUGE non-typical mulie with about 10 does feeding in a field about some steep river banks. About an hour in another big 4 point entered the field. This caused one of the biggest fights I have ever seen. We are talking blood and everything. It went on for about 15 min. Neither deer left the field when it was done but the 4 point was big time injured and they just kept circling each other.
I have been back to this spot for 5 days since and not a sign of any deer not even does.
So would a battle like this keep the does from returning to this field. It did not seem to bother them at the time?
P.s I came home after seeing that battle and ordered a video camera. I'm not missing another one of those.
