This large dominant buck tolerated the 2 lesser bucks only so long before driving them off.

Great find. You can sure tell the dominate buck from the size of the racks – very nice action.

A very nice capture of the dominant behaviour of the big boy on the block!

brilliant action captured. much to enjoy. Like the way the dominant male still has one ear pegged back, as if to check out that other youngster.
Make your life spectacular!
