The three bucks apparently locked up while fighting and ended drowning as a result of not being able to separate. The bucks measured as follows 130 inch 9 pt, 140 inch 10 point, and a 169 inch 11 point. The Division of Wildlife pulled the carcasses from the water and the racks were given to the landowner.
