I apologize for the truly crappy video. I got all flustered and did an awful job. But here is what happened. While hunting quail in a ravine about 2 miles from the Mexican border, Tye and I came upon these two bucks locked together. One was dead; the other seemed in pretty decent shape. I was miles from the truck and had no tools on me. Not wanting to risk injury while trying to get them apart I was stumped. Then I realized I could probably shoot off an antler and free the still healthy buck. That’s what I did. When the healthy buck held still I got about two feet away with my 20 gauge and l blasted an antler off. It worked! The buck took off in a flash. I kept the antler for a souvenir. Later a local hunter told me both bucks were trophy class. They seemed small to me but theirs are Cous whitetail, and apparently they do not get very big. Again sorry bout the crappy video.
