CLOSE AWESOME BUCK FIGHT-ANTLERS, ENTANGLED, CLOSE WHITETAIL

-- Best when viewed in full screen mode--
Two large bucks lock antlers, push, and shove during a fight. Most deer fights are friendly. Bucks need to learn to fight and practice on trees, shrubs, and their companions. When bucks, which associate and are in the same group, go into rut, they practice fight with companions. These bucks were learning how to use their antlers - such as what positions to assume and how to position antlers. At one point in this film their antlers became locked and they needed to separate them. The second time it appeared that they feared their antlers might have gotten entangled they both jerked away (at the end of the video). Bucks appeared to groom each other while fighting.

The deer on the right appears to be a 10-point buck. (From another segment of the film, its right antler is at least a 5-pt. and the left, at least a 4-pt. with possibly a small pt. near the tip). The deer on the left has anters that are much thicker at the base than those of the deer on the left, but not as long as they should be and they appear to have been broken off. It is likely this deer would have had a much larger rack-perhaps a 12-point or more. The deer on the left also appears to be darker and larger. The background noise is a farm tractor. Wild animals often don't fear farm equipment and this behavior enabled me to get quite close to them.

The deer had problems positioning their antlers, which became locked several times because the one had damaged antlers.

These were wild deer in a natural setting - on a farm. A portion of this farm was purchased by John Purdue, Purdue University founding benefactor, for his family in 1865 as described in Uncle: My Journey With John Purdue.

** Some of the world's largest bucks live in Ohio. Some of its world champion bucks have Boone and Crockett scores of over 300 points. Ohio's Beatty Buck may be the (or among the) largest ever taken by a hunter. That title of the largest whitetail, ever, in the record books belongs to the "Missouri Monarch," a 333-7/8 buck found dead on the side of a road in 1982 near St. Louis. In second place is the legendary "Hole in the Horn," found dead in Ohio in 1940, however, many whitetail experts think that it is actually the largest set of whitetail deer antlers in history. It may be the most famous whitetail known.

The male white-tailed deer, or buck (Odocoileus virginianus - normally called the whitetail), can weigh up to around 500 pounds http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:7cLce5HsdasJ:espn.go.com/outdoors/huntin...
and the female up to 175 pounds. Males of one year or older have antlers. Young bucks with very small antlers are called button bucks. When the antlers begin to grow in the late spring, they are covered with a very vascular tissue known as velvet or moss. This drops off later. The Boone & Crockett scoring system is used to rate antlers or racks. Bucks shed their antlers at the end of breeding season (rut). Some female deer also have antlers. The piebald or white deer, a deer having more white than normal but not an albino, is very rare.

Deer have an amazing assortment of communicative signs. Approximately 100 different vocalizations have been recorded, such as tending grunts, dominant grunts, bleats, and many others. They make extensive use of sign language. The whitetail is found throughout most of the U.S., southern Canada, Central America, and in the northern portions of South America. It is a generalist, which can adapt to a wide variety of habitats, including woodland, open savanna, and even sage areas.

Were these 2 deer gay? Cuz it looked like they were just flirting. Where were the REAL big dogs? Y'know, the ones with 5-foot-wide antlers (the equivalent of big balls)?

Bucks very, very rarely fight to the death. They practice and just joust to test who is stronger. The wildlife shows that show deer killing each other select their material. This is much more typical of a deer fight. Often they just practice on small trees and shrubs.

Animals are not as nervous around farm machinery as they are around people. The reason I was able to get so close to them was because I was on a tractor.
