Three Ohio bucks locked horns....
 

My buddy in Ohio just sent me an email with 28 pics, I'm going to try to post 5 or so. This is part of the story.....

"To a hunter, it’s a stomach-tightening, bizarre sight. At the same time, it’s a stark example of the potential ferocity and brutality of the whitetail rut. These three Ohio bucks somehow locked antlers while battling near a small creek. When one deer slid into a shallow pool, it sealed the fate for all three, who drowned together, antlers still locked. Steve Hill talked to the men who found and recovered the deer and their combined 400-inches of antler to bring you the story of this sad, almost poetic scene.

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."

Sorry to hear that but would make an interesting mount!!

Like Brad said, it is a shame they ended up like that. Looks like three good bucks.

X3............

I got the email too, but it only had the first couple pics. That's wild. Hate to see them go like that.

That had to be one crazy fight.

Anyone wanting the email forwarded with all 28 pics and the write-ups with each pic, PM me with email addy and I'll forward. Real interesting story on the removal process....
