That's really amazing.
The victor was much stronger.

Pretty neat show.  They were tearing up the landscape and the doe in the background could care less about it.

WAY COOL!!!

In my avatar the farthest  bucks ears are a MESS...split and torn from fighting

That is way too cool! I have seen small ones spar, but never anything like that in real life!

Wow!  Great video!  I also noticed the doe being unimpressed...  

Great vid Harvey
did you film that?

I thought I saw blood on one's face during the last couple seconds of the clip.  Maybe it's just the bad resolution messing with my eyes.

   

I picked the loser to win  :(

funny the doe in the background not even paying them ANY attention !

if you compare the rattling I do with their rattling noise......I rattle to fast.

Yea Rusty I'm with ya! Every time I hear deer in tha woods they barly make any noise, grunting or sparing. When I call and rattle I sound like a freight train Thrashing, banging, and carring on...Do I love it when they come in looking for a fight!!!!!!!

Saw a neat ideA the other day on a video,,guy in a climber had hIs antlers tied together and at the base of his tree stand..shake the line..rattle the horns! DOH!!! NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT!!

Last weekend I had two bucks walk up to within 20 yards of me (I hunt sitting on a stool) and have three sparring sessions over a period of about 10 minutes, but they were nothing like this.  Even though, it was a sight to see.  One was a 4 point the other a 6 point but neither was legal in the county I was hunting - needed an inside spread of at least 13 inches and both of these had antlers which were inside their ears. Shucks!!!! Still was a show I've not had the fortune to witness before.  Made my day.

Holy moly what a donnybrook.

Yep....years ago, a non-hunter friend of mine was out with his young son doing the nature walk thing and came across a scull and partial spine of a 160 whitetail.  He brought it home so his son could show "Mom".  The next day, she said "get rid of it".  He came to work and told me about it.  I gladly took them off his hands and have been using them to rattle ...and...I have been "jigging" them using my up haul rope ever since.  The technique works great.  I bang of the bushes around the base of my tree, on the ground and if you jerk them up quickly...they spread apart and then crash together.  Follow that with quick jerks to keep the "jiggle" goin and it sounds pretty good.  Called lots in, shot a few and passed on even more.  Keeps them from looking in the trees for the climbing whitetails      

If you noticed there was more noise from their feet and there was from the antlers, it works out great in a blind, you can scuffle your feet as you clatter the antlers together.

But that was indeed fight, gives the example of determination, and confidence, it also shows, those bucks think it really matters, and that goes back there saying yeah right !

But God gave us an example in nature, and that nature's set in order, and it doesn't change, it does what it's designed to do.
