Weaker sex, my a@@

Today, in the woods, above the house we have a tray and a salt block set out. A doe and two young bucks frequent this outdoor diner often. But today I saw something I have never seen before. I use to spend an inordinate time in the woods communing with nature and I have seen some interesting things, but nothing like this!
The doe was eating her ration of corn and one of the bucks, a nice six pointer, walked up behind her, she turned and with her front paw = hoof, popped him right upside the head, damn near knocked him down. He shook his head and wandered away, only to come back a few minutes later, only this time she chased him a few steps and using both front hooves proceeded to pound on his rump several times. Off he ran again returning again in a few minutes, walked up behind her, this time she turned and popped him right between the eyes actually knocking him back on his haunches! Now he was not attempting to make little deer, he just wanted to get to the corn and evidently she was not through eating and did not want any male company!! It was absolutely amazing to watch.
As I was leaving tonight she was standing about 20 yards away up in the woods and I said to her, "Just stay away from me lady, I have seen how you act when your angry, and I don't need that embarrassment!" She just looked at me and twitched her ears, virtually unconcerned! Unbelievable!
Weaker sex - not in that domain anyway!
