Fallow buck shedding antlers 1

Here's a couple of senior fallow bucks who look ready to shed their antlers - they're showing all the signs - they've left the other bucks and are clearly having some discomfort as their next pair of antlers starts pushing the old ones off the top of their heads making them feel slightly wobbly. They want to get rid of the discomfort but they're afraid of what will happen to them if their antlers do come off as the junior bucks will waste no time in settling old scores.
