I have a year old buck out in his pen, friendly as can be (now) I also now have a 7 week old doe fawn who eventually will be moved out with him.
I take her out to the pen to let her run around sometimes and everytime I bend down to pet her my buck comes and "nudges" me with his antlers to get in between us and trys to kick her/step on her. Is this normal? Will they be fine once she is bigger? Will I be able to leave them together come fall?
These are my first two deer. The buck was also bottle fed and taken from his mom @ 2 days -I know, you shouldnt bottle feed a buck - A little late for that now
