    Great capture Frank.
    Good practice for them, for when the real fighting happens.

    Cheers Amila.

    Yes they are Mary and it is a privilege to be able to get reasonably close to them.

    Nice sparring capture Frank. I enjoyed the deer over on the Early Birder also. There is something about the antlered critters that I never tire of.

    Hi smalldot. You could be right, they are difficult to age exactly.

    This is a nice one! I have sometimes seen these fights get pretty ugly too...

    Siddartha Joshi. These were only relative youngsters so the REAL fighting is yet to come but as you say it can be very ugly.
