I was lucky to come upon these two big bucks as they approached each other. After a few minutes of standoff they began to fight. This continued for several minutes but mostly in tall grass with their heads hidden as they locked horns. As they worked their way out of the grass I could see that one was getting the upper hand. He actually lifted the other almost completely off the ground at one point! The whole time the 1DX with an ultra fast card never stopped firing - over 100 frame burst! I wish that I was a bit closer to the action but still amazed that i got to witness this.
