It is annual event that has been going on since members of the deer family have been on this earth. During the rut, white-tail deer bucks battle one another for the opportunity to mate. On occasion the deer's antlers become entangled and can result in the injury or death of the warriors.
Last Friday I received a call from a neighbor to the south of the park. He had found these two bucks locked together in death, not more than 100 yards from his house and very close to the park border. The antlers of the buck on the right had pierced the neck of the buck on the left. The second buck faced a slow agonizing death with his foe still attached.
