Locked Up Already!
 

Just got these pics from a friend. Says it was from last week in west central MN. Blows my mind that this is already going on. One deer was dead and the other wasreleased to battle another day.

Did you friend help him out?

Man, that is crazy. A little sparing must have turned into a big fight! At least the one buck was released and survived. I bet hes gonna be sore for a few days!

Wow, that's crazy. And the antis think WE are the cruel ones...Mother Nature gets that award every time.

At least one of them is still alive. Great pics.

They're known to tickle horns this time of year. I don't think things get too heated between bucks right now. Kinda like dogs playfully fighting. They should still be running in bachelor groups. Atleast, here in SC.

Not too early, once their antlers harden they really feel each other out for dominance because prior to that they were buds and just boxed a little. Dominance is usually laid down long before the does even begin to come into estrous. (rut)
