Undeterred ungulates
As the rut starts to wind down, many of these once proud warriors are looking pretty tired and worn out. Red eyed and skinny, they have literally spent weeks chasing girls and fighting, taking very little time to eat, UNDETERRED in their mission… Now that the temperatures are dipping below zero and the snow is accumulating enough to cover the food supplies, the next few months will be hard on these old boys for sure. Although most of the damage has been to the antlers; it is UNFORTUNATE that some of these beautiful bucks will not survive the wounds that they have acquired throughout the rut.

Stacey: All in the name of love, neat collection of photos of the fine fighting bucks.
Just beautiful.
Bear((( )))
Have really enjoyed the collection of pictures from the rut over there. Most of the rut action around here takes place far enough away from here that we don’t really get to see it a whole lot. Will have to make more of an effort to get out next year and observe, though!
This stag is very impressive and the perfect model for a series of photos.

If it wasn’t for the word skinny, I would have thought you were describing a lot of the guys around here.
