In a high-country storm, two royal-head bulls, (seven point rack), 'do battle' for supremacy of the harem. This combat for the female's favor is known as the rutting season, and occurs in the fall of each year. Often, during the 'donnybrooks', some sneaky young bulls 'cut-out' with the fickle harem queens, leaving the victorious bull wondering if it may have been wiser to just flip a coin'!!!
