If you have not yet seen the images of the three whitetail bucks locked in death..I warn you they are quite graphic.
We have often seen images of two whitetail bucks locked in battle for supremacy during the rut. On the rare occasion, these deer become locked together for life (& death). It is a sad reminder of the cruelty of nature…
Now, I bet you have never seen three bucks locked together, following what must have been one terrible battle!
In this image, you can see the silhouette of three big bucks connected only by their headgear. The caption on the email I received says “Buck Fight in Dacre” however, it seems the photos originate from the US Midwest, and NOT from Ontario
In this photo you can see the three deer after being pulled from the water and their heads severed.
This image will give you a full appreciation for the size of the bucks involved. What a terrible shame.
So, now we can say we’ve seen evidence of the worst buck fight in history, but a few questions remain. What were three bucks fighting in the first place? Were the two smaller ones ganging up on the big one?
I guess we will never know…
Thanks to Chessy for digging up this additional image:
