Got a call a few nights ago about two stag locked up. I showed up to catch and help out but was not happy to see one was already dead. I was able to get the other one down and unlock his antlers. Treated him and sent him on his way hopefully to rest and recover. The really bad part is the bigger one is the one that did not make it. He had a pretty cool drop tine too. sorry about the paint on the picture but i don't like to post people in pictures or mention names or ranch names unless they tell me to. Not the last time two males will fight to the death but you never like seeing it.

Sure hate to see it end that way. Hopefully the second bull wasn't too stressed and will make it.

Those animals are massive. Beautiful creatures. Too bad on the death of the one stag. Nature at work, right there. Survival of the fittest.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

That sucks. He was a massive stag. At least the coyotes and buzzards didn't get him.

Wow! That's a lot to carry around on your head. Hate that it died.
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

Hate to see that, but it happens. Many a fine buck/bull has been lost this way.

Tough to handle sometimes, but it happens. Just glad you could separate them to try and save the one of them.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Yeah I understand it's part of life. Animals have a way to cull each other out and keep the herd balanced. It's really only when people get involved that the balance is messed up. But no matter how many animals I work on or hunt cause I do hunt every chance I get. I still hate to see animals suffer.

Huge stag. Too bad he had to die a slow death but that's nature at work.

Tough to see such a great trophy end up that way.
A clear conscience is often the sign of a fuzzy memory.
