I have always been told that Axis will run out whitetail from the feeders. But this weekend I saw different. The Axis are just starting to move into the area that I am hunting and twice this weekend I witnessed Whitetail bucks literally chasing Axis does away. Like the WT buck literally chasing the axis flat out across a pasture. What has been yall's experience with this?

A few weeks ago I was sitting in my blind and at the feeders were a few (~5) WT with one of them being a mature 8pt, the rest were younger. Two young axis bucks showed up on the outside of the pen and although they wanted to eat they were obviously bothered by the 8pt. They just keep looking at the 8pt (eating from the feeder) and then looking at each other. It was really like two young kids trying to convince the other to jump the fence first and go get the luscious protein, but neither wanted to budge. After 10min of this, no one was going to man-up and both just walked off quietly.
It was fun to watch... The 8pt was not bothered whatsoever with the axis, he didn't spend two glances at them.
