Great pics. That would of made my day. You must have a decent buck/doe ratio. Thanks. It made my day but it is not the first fight I have photographed here. I have seen around 15 or so over the last 7 yrs now. I think I saw 4 or 5 last year I took pics of. My area of the county is 1 buck to 2 does as of the last WMA area survey late this summer. I usually run more bucks than does on my blind/stand counts from October till end of Jan. Last years count was 1.57 bucks per doe on my small place and I have only had one year in the 7 where I saw more does than bucks. I shoot does and have since 2012 when I bought this place. If I had not killed any does my ratio would be skewed the other way or more in line with the surveys for this area.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

They get serious about it. I have seen a couple . They usually get so worn out they finally just both give up. Saw one break off one entire side. of his antler. Great pictures STX

I've only seen that once in all my years of hunting. I never realized just how violent a real buck fight can get. Once it was over I was just sitting there jaw-dropped...these pics really brought back the memory.
Great pics as always! Thanks for posting them!

When is your rut normally in full swing? What is your general location? I've never hunted the area I'll be in, and have no idea when the rut goes on.

That's incredible! I've seen them push each other around pretty good on several occasions but have never seen an all out brawl like that. Great pics, thanks for sharing

Great pics ranchman! I've seen a number of these fights in s. tx. and not only do other bucks come to investigate but also opportunistic coyotes looking for a weakened, tired animal for an easy (or at least less difficult) kill. It's a wonder we don't lose more mature bucks to these battles. These type fights also bring to realization that man has no chance whatsoever to recreate the sound of these battles with a set of rattling horns.
Thanks for posting and I can't wait for late Dec.

Did you forget your ammo? It’s easy to do, I won’t judge

When is your rut normally in full swing? What is your general location? I've never hunted the area I'll be in, and have no idea when the rut goes on. Western Goliad County and rut usually is in full swing the week prior to Thanksgiving but can start around the 15th of Nov.

I'll be hunting eastern Lavaca county for the first time this weekend. Hoping for lots of activity. Great pics by the way.
