It's like any animal, sometimes you get one with a bad attitude. Those we don't keep around. Life's too short to put up with anything like that.

I've seen does get mean with one another, but never have I seen one get mean with a human.. Not to say it couldn't happen, but I'd consider it pretty unlikely. Same with wethers, actually.
Bucks, on the other hand...during the rut, they're full of testosterone and a goodly percentage tend to sorta lose a lot of their natural fear/respect/love for humans until the breeding's all over and done with.
We've got a young buckling right now who's been skitty since we got him...couldn't hardly tame him down...but now that he's learning about the ladies and all that, he'll come right over and flap his tongue at you or rub his smelly wet head all over your pants..
Gross.
Why can't they run from you when they stink, and to you when they don't, instead of it being the other way around?!?

My kiko buck sprayed me the other day! I stunk even after I washed. I can't stand to get anywhere near him and he doen't stink just part of the year-it is all the time! He has a mean streak but a stick to the nose stopped him from trying to get me and now he is pretty much uncooperative. My DH loves him and refuses for me to get rid of him. He is a pretty impressive buck though. I like looking at him from a distance.

We've started our breeding for late winter/early spring kids, and you can imagine how the bucks smell now!!!! My Vet came out yesterday to pull blood for our annual testing, and those boys were ripe. Bet he wished I'd get the testing done some other time of the year when they aren't quite as bad as they are now. 
At least I got to jump in the shower as soon as they left here. They got to ride back together in a truck smelling each other. It's a 45 minute drive. Yuck!
