3 Bucks Fight to the Death
This is an amazing set of pictures and story provided by a wildlife officer in Ohio. I received this info in an email and believe it to be an accurate account of what went down. Apparently three bucks were fighting at the same time, antlers got locked up, they fell into a creek and all drowned. Nature can be brutal. Check it out!
“This is the result of three bucks all fighting for one doe. They had
the bank of this creek all tore up. All together I estimated the deer to
score well over 400 inches of antler. The biggest one was a massive 6×5, approx
165 inches, the other two were around 130 or so.”
