Martin: Thanks bro.

Chris: So we've got a herd full of bucks, but I can't find Buckaroo anywhere.

Aviva: Nowhere?

Chris: I've been with does, with bucks all through this area.

And nothing.

See the bucks tend to gather at this time of year, to prove their strength and dominance in sparring matches.

Martin: Sparring matches.

That sounds like fun.

Hey guy's how's it going?

I'm here.

Chris: It's like a ritual, ears back, stiff-legged walk, snort wheeze sounds, all mean a challenge.

Martin: Oh hi.

What's up buck?

Cool sound.

So are we going to spar, who wants to spar?

Oh.

Hey... whoa, Hey... whoa, you're serious!

Ahhh... his antlers are sharp!

And he has more points than I do.

Chris: Each buck works his way up the hierarchy in these sparring matches.

Aviva: And it's all to attract and access the does?

Chris: Yup.

But Buckaroo is just nowhere to be found.

Aviva: Maybe he's just not around anymore.

Martin: Whoa... Aviva: Life's tough for a deer.

And they only live to about 6 years old in the wild right?

Chris: Yeah... Martin: Whoa... Chris: It's a battle of strength, locking antlers and pushing and shoving the opponent Martin: Whoa!

Chris: Not all of them get to be big bucks.

Aviva: Ah...

I can't stop thinking of the last time we saw him.

Martin: Look!

Here comes Mom.

Aviva: Look how carefully she approaches.

Chris: Oh yeah, she wants to make sure she doesn't accidentally lead a predator to her fawn.

Martin: So when the coast is clear, she reunites with him.

They'll stick together for a while, maybe move to a new hiding spot, that's how it works for deer.

Leo: Awww.

They're so happy.

Audrey: We did it.

We fixed our mistake.

Leo: And we'll always remember... Audrey/Leo: If you find a fawn, leave it alone.

Martin: Great job Wild Kratts team!

Chris: Live a long happy life, little Buckaroo.

Aviva: He sure was a cutie pie.

Chris: Yeah, he was the best, right Martin?

Martin: Ahha!

Ow!

Chris: Uh-oh!

Use those antlers bro!

Martin: I'm trying...

Okay, okay, you win...

I give...I give!

Uh-oh.

Is it?

Aviva: Could it be?

Chris: It is!

We finally found him.

Chris/Aviva: Buckaroo!
