Bath time for Bucks

I have seen that happen twice during the rut when it is hot and bucks are chasing does. Doe head to water and bucks are in the water or rolling around it. I videoed a little of it both times. The last time was a group of bucks chasing a doe in late Dec. She hit the tank to get away from the buck and cool off. One buck went in after her and I videoed probably 5-6 minutes of him swimming after her as she swam in circles or figure 8's to try to loose him. One or two other bucks jumped into cool off but not chase. She finally swam ashore on the opposite side and left with all the bucks in tow.

I think that with the rut in this area being early and the temperatures being higher than normal, these bucks were trying to cool off.
