Bucks Battle in Deer Whisperer's Yard, Avoiding Owner's Vehicle

During the peak rutting season, two bucks engaged in an antler‑locking bout in the yard of Lynn Smith, a self‑described "deer whisperer" who frequently hosts deer on his property. Smith, who shares the encounters on Instagram, encouraged the animals to spar while explicitly requesting that they steer clear of his truck and boat. The fights took place near the vehicle, but the bucks reportedly avoided causing damage. Smith’s approach reflects a growing trend of landowners allowing wildlife to roam and interact on private property, raising questions about safety and wildlife management during the breeding season.
