When they fight, bucks, or male deer, can put on a show. It takes a lot of two bucks to fight it out fiercely.
Bucks compete with one another for dominance and the right to mate in their native territory. Most ғɪɢʜᴛs take place during the rut (October – December). Within the same home range, bucks compete for dominance before peak breeding seasons. Additionally, bucks will venture outside of their home areas in search of breeding does.
As a result, buck encounters buck as they try to determine who the dominant buck is. It’s typical for two bucks to ғɪɢʜᴛ each other when a female deer is receptive and ready to procreate in order to chase the other one away and get to the doe.
It’s vital to note that bucks “ғɪɢʜᴛ” playfully. Bucks frequently engage in antler-rattling games with one another. Although they may appear to be ғɪɢʜᴛing, there is no aggressive intent behind their activity.
Outside of the peak breeding season, playful “ғɪɢʜᴛing” between bucks is common, and one of the bucks is usually young and immature. Two mature bucks “ғɪɢʜᴛing” playfully is soᴍᴇᴛʜing you won’t see very often. When two mature bucks ғɪɢʜᴛ, there is typically hostility and purpose behind it.
