Dang! That doe has a little bit of crazy in her. That is one of the wildest deer videos I've seen .

I'd say she had a fawn near by. Maybe the squealing of the rabbit fired her up?

I read an article that theorized rabbits mimic fawns in distress (or a doe can't really tell the difference), and she likely thought she was coming to the aid of a fawn. Hormones are crazy.

I remember reading an article by Jim Dougherty a few generations ago about calling predators. He took a position watching a trail crossing, and made a series of calls with a fawn-in-distress mouth call. A muley doe and a coyote came the crossing at the same time from opposite directions, and that doe stomped the coyote to death with no doubts about the outcome from the beginning.
I never got to witness such a battle myself, but did get to see a "posse" of muley does take off after a coyote that had sneaked in too close the herd one morning in North Dakota. Those mommas chased that coyote all the way to and over the top of the wheat stubble field that was a good quarter mile away. The coyote appeared to be at full speed the whole way, and the does couldn't seem to gain much on him. Don't know the outcome of that one, because they all disappeared over the ridge and didn't return while I sat there about ten minutes.
Did get to see a lone doe stand up out of her bed a hundred yards or so down an open slope from me and noticed as she took a look around and her posture suddenly changed as she she locked in on something off to my right. Looked where she seemed to be looking, and there was a single coyote coming with apparently not a care in the world, but about a second after I spotted him, he locked up in mid-step, as he noticed the doe. Thought for a second I might see some drama there, but the coyote wasn't interested at all in trying anything with the lone doe, and he just slowly turned around and went back almost the direction he had come.
That theory about rabbits mimicking the distress call of a fawn is interesting. I'd never read of it, but it would make sense from an evolutionary standpoint.
