I can't find the whole study, but I think this is from some new research so it may not be published. Nothing really new here but I will admit I like reading research findings. There is also some other research stuff talked about if you click the link.

Increase in risky business (exposing themselves to hunters) during the peak rut by bucks classified as “movers” compared to those with more of a “sedentary” personality. Ashley Jones of Mississippi State University tracked 18 movers and 25 sedentary adult bucks on private hunting land. She also found 2½ and 3½-year-olds took significantly more risk during the peak rut than bucks 4½ and older, though in the post-rut it was mature bucks (5½-plus) that were taking more risks. Ashley had comforting words for heartbroken hunters who aren’t seeing a buck they really want to meet: “It’s not you, it’s him.”
