	There are three parts of the rut. The prerut, the midrut, and the postrut are all parts. During the summer, Bucks are in groups of 5 or more deer. Once the prerut starts they begin to break apart. They begin to make rubs on trees. Doing this manes their territory.            The next part is called the mid-rut. During the mid-rut, bucks wonder around looking for does to breed with. Also duing the mid-rut, scrapes and rubs can be twice as big.        The last stage of the rut is the post-rut. The bucks calm down and stop their wandering. Also, they worry about feeding more than does. They stop making rubs and scrapes and go back to their regular activities.
