LARGE WILD BUCK WHITETAILS FIGHT TO AN END FOR DOMINANCE

Two large bucks lock antlers, push, and shove during a fight. The deer on the right (Contender I) appears to be a 10-point buck (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 antlers that are much thicker at the base than those of the deer on the right, but they 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 is darker and larger. (These were wild deer in a natural setting - on our farm taped by Scott and extracted from a longer film.)

** 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.

Neat video, but monster bucks? More like a couple small 8 points, if that!

[IrenaScott]

The deer on the right had one antler with a good 5 tines. Its left antler had a good 4 tines with a nub at its end. The antlers of the larger deer were thicker at the base, but the antlers were damaged. One was clearly broken and the other, deformed - the antlers were probably damaged while they were growing in.

cool vid, but they're just playing. Give em a few weeks after you shot this for a real battle...

[Dthedeerslayer]

dude them super tiny anyone on?

[Jakebeyer007]

The Erath County Buck fight video is actually fighting. These bucks are young and are playing around so when the actually get big they will be ready. But for now they are very small. But like I said that other video has an actual 12 and a big nontypical buck.

Cool video, but not a big fight, or the contender 2 is a 12-14 point more like 6. And they arn't very big.
