Hard to believe they'd be that aggressive into fighting already...
Fight to the death
Two large male whitetail deer locked antlers sometime early Wednesday. One lost its life due to injuries sustained in the fight. The other, a 13-point trophy buck, succumbed to stress and exhaustion later that day.
Cass County resident Mike Grandstaff discovered the ongoing struggle just before 8 a.m. on Wednesday. When he did, he realized the two were entangled. Grandstaff called authorities, who tranquilized the live deer. They had to cut one of its antlers off to free it.
What follows are photos of how authorities attempted to save the life of the 13-point buck.
Photos here as well. Several in the gallery.
