Has my Buck done his job?

I am new at this and this my first year having deer on my place. I have two pens at this time each with one buck and 3 doe in them. In my first pen you can tell for sure the buck is in in full rut. His neck is big and everytime the buck in pen two get close to the fence the hair on his back and but stands up and his ears go back as he makes his way to the fence to run the other buck off. Each time i go out to feed in the evening he is grunting non stop. My question is i was wondering if there is any way to tell if the doe have been bred? This is the first time for both of my breeder bucks i hope they know what they are doing!!Another thing you would think if the buck in the first pen is in rut then the buck in the second pen beside him would be in rut also. Looking at the Gestation Chart on this forum should i count on my fawns during the first part of June?



Thanks for any input on this....

Okay thanks Jack. I went out to the house for lunch a walked back to the pens and the buck in the first pen doesn't seem as excited as he was last night. Both bucks were at the fence together and it looks like things have calmed down. Although i did see the buck in the second pen curling his lips up at lunch!! I just love this. I told my wife last night after walking back to the house from the pens ( I think I'm in rut now!!) I am glad that i decided to cut both bucks horns before putting them in the pens. I am working on 6 more pens and my fawning facility at this time and should have it all done by spring. This way phase one of my farm will be complete. Next year i will be able to split up my breeding pens a little better and possibly even keep the antlers on a few of my best breeder bucks.

Hello Roger,

First off i must say i have looked at your pictures and post for a while now and have learned alot from the things you have posted. The wire on my pens is set up the same way that you are talking about. I hope to have room in the spring to start moving the deer around a bit. I have a total of 19 acres of pens under construction at this time. I got these first two pens complete so that i could finish all my paperwork and get my permits. Two working barns built My main barn is complete 30' x 65' and i am working on the drop chute and tunnel system and office space. My fawning barn is complete 24' x 24' with three outside runs for fawns @ 20' x 30'. It's a lot of work but i love it!!
