Cat & Mouse or Doe in Heat - Chasing

[LuckyPickle123]

I recently posted about not seeing much lately which is true.  But the last buck I did see was this past Saturday.  It was a buck chasing a doe, and no small buck at that matter.  It looked to be at least a 3 1/2 year old deer (had a big rack on it).  Trust me it had a big rack, so I don't want you guys to get hung up on this fact.  Now normally I would say cat & mouse chase for this time of year.  However, why would a buck of that caliber make himself vulnerable if that doe isn't in fact coming into heat.  Any clues?

Exactly how big was the rack?  I have serious doubts about this.  (kidding)

 

I have no answer on this other than my sarcastic questions.

 It was a big guy lol.  I just wanted to make that clear because that has a lot to do with the possible answer to this.  I mean yea if it was a 1 1/2 - no doubt it was cat & mouse chasing.  But this was a mature buck we are talking about.
