Sparring Black-tailed Deer. The older doe did not like being approached by the younger buck. She won the short sparring match and chased him away into the bush. No injuries to either that I could see.
The sharp hard point of a front hoof could do serious injury to an opponent's face.
Photo taken at a very long distance across a creek at an estuary. Heat shimmer was no help.

Thanks Louie. Reminded me of kangaroos fighting, but no foot kicks.
