The sparring continues............

Here's the third in a series of pictures I've been posting of an 8 point & 10 point who are currently engaged in a mad "turf war" at my kill plot.

I thought it was a bit early for this type of behavior for these parts. Our rut usually runs from Nov. 9th - 17th or thereabouts. As such, I figured these guys would have tolerated each other's presence for a little while longer before "hooking up". I've got two separate series of pictures of these two- each taken over the course of 1+ hour on two different nights! [8D]

What do you think? Personally, I think the 8 is puttin' up a heck of a fight given the disadvantage of his equipment (not near the mass of the 10's rack).

I think they are more play fighting. If you look at there back legs they are straight up and down, no leverage for pushing, that's why I think they are just playing. Just my opinion. Shoot the dominate one then the wont fight anymore LOL

yea you really should take the side of the small buck and whack that 10pt!!!! Its the right thing to do and all

What I find cool is these guys want to fight on film. There probably pals when there not on the movie set.

Planter,
Classic! Kind of like Sly Stallone & Carl Weathers?

For the record- the first one that offers me a broadside shot inside of 30 yards will get the honor of meeting the business end of my Easton Axis FMJ 400.

I got a pic of some little guys doing this as well. Not over a food plot or mineral site just on a trail I decided to put my camera on.

Went out to the plot yesterday & swapped cards out of the camera- these guys are STILL going at it!
They're actually moving CLOSER to the camera & giving me better angles/pictures

Our bow season opens on Monday !

I crop the pictures so they are as small as possible without removing any
critical detail.As a result-some "dead space" on the top/sides may get
cropped out, leaving just the subjects. So I'm not as lucky as you think.
