Part of getting out in nature is witnessing some nature. A group of people in Redwood National Park had a front row seat to some nature when a couple of bucks smashing antlers came tumbling down the side of a hill.
The hikers were “just exploring the Redwood forest” when the nature arrived. After sliding across the boardwalk, the two deer resumed their battle just a few feet away from the group, who, let’s be honest, were way too close for comfort.
The deer tossed each other around the woods a little, you know classic rutting season behavior, before launching each other over the side of another small hill. The commentary on this now-viral battle is amazing.

The only thing better than the up-close and personal battle, and the play-by-play that accompanied it, is the comment section on the Instagram post.
Here we are being sucked back in by technology while trying to enjoy nature. It just goes to show you that not all technology is bad.
A place where you can weigh in with thoughts like “Shoulda started taking bets on the trail. Missed opportunity” still has some value.
