I had these 2 the other day.

Fun watching the spar around. They don't seem to be mad, just pushing around a little.

It is assumed that bucks help establish their pecking order in the local population by sparring. They sure do a lot of it!

These two took it more seriously.

Personally, I have never witnessed a true buck fight. I have seen the aftermath several times, but never in person while it was happening.

Now sparring? I see that 10 times a week on my trail-cam videos, usually in food plots at night.
