Notice not a tree in sight. This is a tall grass field covered in ice from a recent freezing rain.
From our landowner friend and current hunting lease land contract holder who shall remain anonymous as well as the location where these pictures were taken sent along this message:
We are grateful to this landowner for taking the effort to share with us this extraordinary series of pictures. |

"You
don't see this but once in a lifetime! Late afternoon Jan 5, [after
the hunting seasons and well after the rut] we saw these two bucks
fighting. My wife & I walked in on them a quarter mile to find they
were definitely locked together. The first pic was taken at almost
dark. The game officer came after dark but we couldn't find them. I
found them the next am, both still alive & called the officer back.
He shot part of the rack off one to release them. It took three
shots to get through the antler. I went home (1 mile away) and was
taking pics of the ice when the buck with the partial rack ran past
me (last pic). Still unsure exactly how big they were!"
