The Beauty of Savagery

I found this at Field & Stream and was amazed at the battle these three waged.  All three of these bucks are fine trophy's.

Remember...when war is waged, it's always to the death.

Forester Jason Good was surveying timber in Meigs County, Ohio, on November 12 when he stumbled upon a bizarre sight that made the hair on the back of his neck stand up: In a waist-deep pool of Leading Creek, nose-to-nose like fish on a stringer, floated three whitetail deer.

The combatants turned out to be an 11-pointer, a 10-pointer and a 7-pointer with an eighth broken tine.


 The 11-pointer (whose main beam is in the foreground here) green scored 168 4/8 gross, 156 0/8 net.  The 10-pointer grossed 138 4/8, and netted 136 2/8 green, while the 7-pointer grossed 119 0/8 and netted 108 1/8.




“Looking at the horns, it looks like the 7- and the 11-pointer were battling and only one side of their horns were locked,” he says. “Then the 10-pointer came in on the opposite side, and his main beam went around the base of each one of the other two deer’s antlers and his tines went up on the inside of their beams and locked them all three together.” 



Damage to the creek bank and gouge marks on trees suggest the bucks locked up 50 yards downstream, then struggled together along the bank—half in and half out of the shallow water—until one of the bucks toppled into the deep hole where the deer were found.
