Two bucks go viral tossing each other around in the woods during brawl at Redwood National Park

Two bucks were filmed fighting in Redwood National Park, tumbling down a slope and across a boardwalk before continuing their clash close to a group of hikers. The encounter, described as typical rutting-season behaviour, went viral, drawing attention to how wildlife can appear unexpectedly close to visitors.

The hikers were exploring the redwood forest when the deer came into view; the animals later tossed each other through the woods and over another small hill. The footage’s play-by-play and online comments also attracted interest, including jokes about placing bets on the trail.
