Friday morning there were two large 10-point bucks that had their antlers locked between bldgs 8 & 11 at the Johnson Space Center. Both were really tired and one was on its death bed.
Security contacted the grounds crew and asked for them to bring a hack saw.
Shortly after grounds arrived two guys jumped on the bodies of the bucks and SWAT grabbed the locked antlers.
The grounds guy moved in with the hacksaw and cut off the left antler of one of them. Everyone backed off. The aggressive buck took off no worse for the wear.
The other buck was lying around for a good 4 hours. It had puncture wounds to its neck and some paralysis.
SWAT came back and took the animal away and euthanized it. It was truly a once in a lifetime event.
Two bucks are locked in a life-or-death battle at the Space Center in Houston.
