A friend just e-mailed me these pictures of two deer locked in battle. I believe the deer were found in Kelly Park, which is located in Apple Valley, Minnesota. However, this information has not yet been confirmed. Here’s the e-mail and the interesting pics:
On 11-5-09 around 0630 hrs dispatch got a call about 2 bucks fighting near Kelly park and their antlers were locked together.The 2 bucks were both mature bucks. One was lying on the ground not moving and barely breathing. The other was wounded and was falling to the ground trying to get his antlers apart. Both deer had to be put down.
After the deer were put down, it took 3 officers 15 minutes to separate the two racks.
The one lying on the ground was a 9-pointer, the other trying to free himself was a 14-pointer.

Looks interesting case here. What are you all doing with it and I am feeling a question for blood coming from it’s mouth and can’t understand the situation..
