That's good stuff, been watching bucks do it all week but the longest was about as long as this one and younger bucks came into the fight also, but of course they stayed back.

That's amazing. I remember reading in some article, that a lot of bucks die during the rut due to fighting and just over exhaustion.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Amazing how they kept going with all the people around watching.

Huge bucks in Cades Cove but very use to people. Have walked up close to very nice group of bachelor bucks before and they didn't move on until within 50yds...even then didn't run off just kinda eased off

Biggest buck I’ve ever seen on the hoof I saw at Cade’s Cove tending a doe around Christmas time. Absolute monster. There were 4 smaller bucks up on the ridge just hanging back. There was probably 20 people taking taking pics within 40 or 50 yards of em. Very cool place.
