Doe makes a buck work hard to earn her affections

This Mule Deer buck was doing his best to get a doe’s attention, chasing her incessantly across an open field, around trees, through bushes and back. Despite his overtures and persistence, she wanted no part of him and appeared to have the stamina to continue to resist. She was eventually able to leisurely walk away, he was left panting, wondering if it was something he said or did. 😉
