about crazy animal encounter. So two and a half years ago, my friend and I were cross

0:23.7

country skiing in a forest. I mean, it came across this like huge buck and we ended up

0:31.5

catching it all on video.

0:33.1

Right behind us here is a buck that's antlers stuck to what appears to be another dead
