I don't believe the buck could have survived long enough with another buck hanging off it's head for it to decompose like that
I am also skeptical. Take a close look at how their antlers are entangled. It does not look natural. IDK. May be more to this story!
I see nothing that would make me think that it's not authentic. Whitetail bucks that are truly fighting and not sparring can get really intense. There's a good chance the decaying buck had his neck broken during the ordeal and the position of his head may have made it difficult for the second buck to eat and drink but certainly would not have prohibited it completely.
Kinda like a goat getting his head stuck in a fence. Nature too often won't let them reverse the process and free themselves.
