Stage Set for Bull Fight in South Boxley Valley
The stage is set now for a bull fight in the south end of Boxley Valley. There is a herd bull with a harem in the Smith Creek field. This field has a few trails down to the river where challenger bulls can attack the current herd bull. This can happen at any time of day, visitors are most likely to observe a fight mornings and evenings. See the video below so you can get the idea of what a real fight is like. It happened in this same field. The current herd bull is bugling a lot so he is nervous about protecting his harem. The timing is ideal now. Usually around October 1 the very biggest bulls arrive and they roam along the river.
