According to wildlife officials, such altercations can happen at this time of year because the animals' antlers are still growing in and are too sensitive to use for fighting.

While the peculiar display of fisticuffs might not seem to be achieving much, the deers' hooves are actually quite sharp and can do a lot of damage if they happen to strike a vulnerable spot.

Dubbed 'Battle of the Bambis', the video has so far managed to rack up over 200,000 views.
