A driver recently happened upon a rare sight while travelling along Highway 97 near Peachland.
Two bucks duking it spilled out onto the highway right in front of Stephen James K枚enig鈥檚 vehicle.
In his video, K枚enig said the animals were sparring 鈥渋ronically鈥� at Antlers Beach.
After about a minute of sparring, both bucks ran off.
Sparring is common during this time, which is thought to strengthen social bonds between bucks. Sparring also establishes dominance and a local hierarchy.
