Interesting Sequence Showing Rut Ramp Up

This cam is in Ohio on the corner of a cattle hay field. 
 

This sequence shows how bucks react to does coming into estrous. Also shows how the rut is a variable timing sequence of unique events based on key drivers like sunlight time.

This doe is starting to go into estrous in all likelihood. She comes into frame, stops, appears to lick herself and I assume pees or leaves some other scent signature in the open field. No scrape, etc. Just open field. She leaves and goes on with her night.

A short while later a young buck comes to that exact spot. Scent checks the spot and tries to determine her status. A short while after that a larger buck also comes to that same spot, you can see him pull in scent and clearly Fleming to do the same. He looks each way trying to ID her path and scents the right direction before heading after her.

Crazy stuff in the whitetail woods.
