Very often, while we are out in the back pasture observing, they will 
come to the edge of the woods and snort at us(usually does because we 
are in between them and where they want to bed down for the night), but 
these guys did not snort at all..they were clashing antlers and chasing 
each other into trees, bending and breaking small saplings, etc.
