I didn't get a pic. It seemed kind of boring... he was on top of her..... they weren't moving, or bobbing up and down. I didn't seem him bite the big one.  :biggrin: Their mating season must be about over. I've only seen a couple out there. I did find the carcass of a dead one last night. He wasn't beheaded, and didn't have any trauma.  :spooked:
