but he mounts repeatedly over a period of several minutes

It's not the mounting and the movements that do the deed....it's the head thrown back, falling off and lighting up a cigarette afterwards that counts! And the doe should hunker up and you'll probably be able to see some of the 'evidence' on her.

I had to grab him by the collar to get him off Dot's a$$

That might be why everyone was in an uproar! Maybe he needs a slideshow presentation of what he SHOULD be doing

My daughter in Maine will be warmer than I am tonight.

Yeah well, just you wait, we are supposed to get a potential torrential rain Sunday and Monday. Of course no matter how "bad" it is, it will pale compared to all the hurricanes.

like @frustratedearthmother said, you don't have to see the "deed". The buck will thrust, fall back and off. The doe will hunch her back and tuck her tail like she is sucking it all in, once you see it it becomes obvious when "contact" has been made.

Thanks, that's the info I needed. When I see him fall over and then they both light up, I'll know all is well. Pics will follow. Gonna take a day or two as right now they barely stand still when I go anywhere near them.

I spent a good hour today chasing a doe in heat trying to catch Jumanji who was hot on her tail. I know if I had let her in with my older buck she would have been bred in a red hot second. If she is still being a brat tomorrow I will put her in with the older boys and whoever gets her gets her. Her choices are Alpine, LM, Nigi, Mini Alpine, or Nigi #2. Or all 5, I really don't care. Just DO IT.

If he is shorter than the does you may need to catch the doe and stand her down hill or in a hole or him on a pallet. Sometimes they only need an inch or two to make a difference.
