Battling Bucks - Mule Deer By Michael Sieve

Battling Bucks - Mule Deer Art Print by Michael Sieve.

"Like his whitetail cousins, a mule deer buck learns the value of avoiding a true fight at an early age by sparring. Young mule bucks spar frequently and the sessions teach them quickly how to gauge another buck's virility just by looking at his antlers, body size, and attitude. It's a valuable skill, one that saves many bucks from serious injury or death. For much of the summer and early fall, big mule deer bucks live alone or in small bachelor groups apart from the herd. But as the rut approaches, these mature bucks leave their high-country hideaways and head downhill, searching for does."

"A mature mule deer buck is an impressive animal who can weigh up to 350 pounds and have heavy, sprawling antlers nearly three feet wide. Like the bucks in this painting, many mule deer fights take place on steep ground, and the buck who uses his strength and the terrain to his advantage is often the winner - sometimes knocking his opponent off his feet or even flipping him on his back. If the loser can't regain his footing and flee, the victor will gouge him with his heavy antlers, ripping his ear, tearing his hide, even impaling his rib cage. While usually short, mule deer fights have the potential to be deadly!" ~ Mike Sieve
