Atlasman,
Just because it' s not common or " natural" where you hunt doesn' t make it the rule for every other place in the country. I think many factors can influence the intensity and frequency of buck fights for any given area. By no means do I believe that buck fighting is common, however I wouldn' t go as far to say that it rarely happens. You may have 16 years of hunting experience, but you may as well have none if you believe that deer are simple, predictable creatures that can be generalized by ignorant statements.
