I agree with all these comments. By the time the deer got through fighting, there was a pretty big area plowed up. That particular area is leased to a vegetable company (I can't remember, but it's Hunts or Green Giant or somebody). There's a center pivot irrigation system there, and in a couple of months, the place will be covered in peas or beans, and the deer will look like Porky Pig. My boss has owned this ranch for about 7 years, and does a great job of managing the deer. We invite customers to hunt some, and a few lucky employees like me get to shoot culls and does (I got an 8 pointer this year), and they sell hunts for deer, doves, and turkeys. The morning I shot the video, there were 42 deer and 36 turkeys in and around the pasture. For a guy who's used to hunting on public lands, where you can go 6 times without seeing any deer at all, the sight of all these is amazing. Somewhere out on the ranch is a 20 pointer. If I ever see him, I might need CPR worse than the loser in the fight I recorded.

Cool

Pretty typical stuff for east Texas public land hunting how old is the one on right side ?

I'm not very good at aging deer, but someone told me they were both 3-1/2 or 4-1/2 years old. The big buck that comes in at about a minute is nicknamed "Crown Royal". It's got a heck of a set of antlers. A guy could get pretty spoiled hunting on this ranch, but lowly employees like me are only allowed to shoot does and culls. Luckily for me, what my boss calls a cull I call the biggest 8 pointer I've ever shot. We had some of the meat for dinner last week and it was awesome. I'm making chili for the folks in the office while it's cold weather.
Thanks again for all the nice comments. It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Great place to be! Great job on the camera!

Awesome

Nice!! Got to see a pair of 8's go at it for about 45 seconds two weeks ago...Nothing like these boys though.
