This was a rather unusual encounter for me, anyway. The bucks are starting to scrape their velvet. I encountered these two one morning- the buck on the left was scraped and even appears to already have winter coloration; the buck on the right was still apparently summer-coated, and still in velvet. I thought it was a great contrast shot!

Great photo NVPete. One doesn't see that too often.

I'm not sure who started the melee? Maybe over a spilled drink? ;-)

I'm guessing it was a cup of milk?

I saw a video that was filmed last week in the pauns by a relative. This fully velvet 170 class buck stops at a scrub oak tree and starts to rake it. Less than 8 minutes later he's completely hard horned. He even started chewing on some of the velvet hanging off the bases as they draped across his face. So many times I though the stripping of velvet was a process.

For this buck it was a pit stop.

Cool pic, thanks for sharing. Guess the velvet buck traveled from his lower elevation home to visit his cousin in the hills. Served him a pepsi instead of a coke in the solo cup and the fight was on.
