Here's a photo of Mike which shows how swollen the bucks' throats are in the rut (mating season) which has been experienced by our deer for the past two or three weeks. It is difficult for them to eat too much or to chew their cud. Also, they make a kind of deep "croaking" sound. We think the younger bucks (Spike, Moki and Buddy) are starting to come out of the rut as they are showing interest in grazing and are starting to eat hay when offered.
