When I see animals with antlers sparring I always thing 'Ouch' and worry about the damage those tines can do around and in the eyes. This excellent close up really shows how dangerous it can be! Great behaviour capture in very sweet light, Terry!

Great moment and interaction, I guess sparring is one way to stay warm.

Very determined look in the left one's eye. Like Carol, I wonder what damage might be done. Excellent illustration of the behavior.
