These two magnificent bucks died with their antlers intertwined while dueling for the affection of their intended. They were found by a passing motorist who saw them lying in a ditch. The one on the left was dead and the one on the right was near death and had to be destroyed. They were mounted and left to be observed in their battle to the death. I find this to be very poignant as they display their bravery in their final struggle. I replaced the background to give it a more natural look. A possible contest entry.
