The rut is over but, well, boys will be boys, and they want to play and show off for the ladies no matter the season. With light snow falling this past Saturday morning, the critters were quite active, making for some fun scenes. These two fellows were a good ways back in a stand of trees but as they pushed and shoved each other, I could get a clear shot here and there. Since I hadn’t really captured much action during the rut, it was nice to get some after the fact.
