I saw something today that I think is pretty odd.I was working in the Ruxton area and was eating my lunch inside my car.I was watching three does browsing their way closer to where I was.A while later four young bucks( two 6 points and two 8 points) came up to where the does were.The two 8 pointers squared up and started fighting.It wasnt a full out fight but was more intense then simple sparring.There was a lot of twisting and pushing for about two minutes then one buck broke off and the other one ran him off.I know deer fight for their pecking order all year long but I didnt think bucks would still be locking horns that hard at this time of year.
Two things come to mind......either they were showing off for the does or it has been such a mild winter,they have enough stored energy to work off some calories.
PS.....the does showed zero interest in the bucks and the bucks didnt approach any does.
