RE: buck vs. buck
i've never first hand seen a deer dead from antler wounds, but i've seen alot with scars and marks from antlers. The 9 pointer i got in iowa this year had broken off the tip on his right G-3, and the backs of his brows were chipped. his bases were rubbed flat from rubbing on trees. he had marks on his face from fighting and his jaw was broken and infected. he wouldnt have made it through the winter. so i guess theres one that would have been dead from fighting. you could see thta it was definetely an antler wound.
