CA Mule Deer (pics)

Here's a few photographs I took of some rutting mule deer over the Thanksgiving weekend. A couple really nice bucks for the Golden State.

Now that's what I'm talking about Roy. Sweetness, those are some great shots of some DANDY bucks. 10sign: 10sign:

How long that fight last, that's something I've yet to see and always hope to.

They actually got locked-up for about 20 minutes. Luckily they were able to untangle themselves before both expired. They were both exhausted and the big non-typical was bleeding from the mouth. It was a fight like I've never seen in the wild.
