Every year about this time, often on foggy mornings like this, whitetail bucks will gather to size up each other, and perhaps get in a scrimmage or two to test their fortitude. I was lucky to catch this recent encounter. It didn't get too serious, but when the buck on the left started to gain the advantage, his opponent broke off and ran into the woods. His challenger followed after him, perhaps with the intent of emphasizing his superior jousting skills.
