I wont even try and guess how many I' ve seen. I will say that I watched two bucks fight for about 20 minutes and on another outing watched two bucks spar on and off for a couple hours just last year. I' ve seen alot of fights and sparring over the years , but I never seen anything until I started hunting all day long during the rut , especially the two weeks before prime rut.

The very first time I heard two bucks fight I damn near fell out of my tree they scared me so bad! They were probably 30 yards behind me when they crashed together[] Believe me , when you wittness two bruisers hook up you' ll hear it 100 yards away!
Normally they usually just spar long enough for the bigger or stronger one to show his dominance which doesn' t last long and isn' t the loud cracking of a big fight. But when you get the rare occasion to see two mature dominate bucks fight your in for a treat! Thats when you' ll understand why so many bowhunters like to crack the big ones together for awhile. Try rattling with two people during prime rut. Put the person rattling on the ground (hidden) about 30 yards up wind from you.
