Way to go little lady. The bucks aren't in rut yet are they? it'll be at least 2 or 3 weeks fore that happens here.
Maybe the deer were making those strange noises because they were over-fed. A few deer all in the same place can create a lot of noise.
I been out scouting a few times and they are not close to being in heat yet. haven't smelled anything. Bucks and does are still separated in packs. It's finally dipped down into the 30's here so it won't be long.
As far as horns are concerned, I've never found a good recipe for them.
I'm a meat hunter.
Good luck on the rest of the season. Maybe some monster will pop up.
Best wishes, Bill
