. I am from Nova Scotia, Canada and want to share a story and pics of 2 real nice bucks which my brother came across on October 5th, this year. It is a shame the bigger of the 2 did not make it 
but it is nice to know there is still a nice buck in the gene pool in this area of our province. These 2 bucks were locked together after a battle of the brutes. My brother is a nuisance animal officer for our provincial government in the natural resources department here in Nova Scotia, Canada. He gets calls to take care of any nuisance wildlife and injured wildlife. He rec'd a call on October 5th from a farmer who came across these 2 bucks locked after an obvious fierce battle in his grain field. Believe it or not, the larger of the 2 did not survive and the 1 which did survive was barely alive when he got there as who knows how long they had been locked together. He darted the live one, which he is kneeled beside, and had to cut the antlers in order to unlock them. When it came to, it tried to get up but it was just too tired and just layed where it was. Our provincial law would not allow him to take it to a reserve or game park and to let nature take its course; therefore, he had to leave it where it was. The next day he went back and the buck was gone so it did survive and will be a great addition to the gene pool in that area. It's too bad the larger of the 2 bucks did not survive but I guess this is nature's way of taking its course. . Hope you all enjoy the pictures
Cheers and safe hunting
Rob
