Can't remember what tv show it was but they featured a buck that had a cage around his face-his antlers grew down and around his entire face  :yike:

sometimes injury can change scull structure or force anteler growth to be abnormal, very cool

Years ago my dad shot a Mule deer buck that one side grew down like that but was tight to his head.

Seen a few.... Couldn't put a 3rd point on one during season for the life of me or he'd be on the wall...

Crazy looking growth... I wonder how he fares with the ladies...?

I kindof hope he doesn't pass those genes along!

Friend of mine's son shot a spike whitetail a few years back that had the same thing going on - turned out that the antler had actually broken at the skull and when the velvet went away it fell off

I to have seen this before.  The buck had a deformed right horn and and his left rear leg had been broken in the past but was fully healed when killed.  I even remember reading somewhere that this type of horn growth reflects damage done to bone structure on the opposite side of the body.

I passed on a buck like that last year. One side was a nice 2 point, the other an odd mess, I just couldn't put three points on one side for sure.  It is neat too see deer like that.

I have a 4 point blacktail that has a drop horn going down one side of its face. The 4 point side is awesome, big fronts and small backs and the drop horn is just a big club with an eye guard.

IMHO These bucks are perfect to be taken out of the gene pool.  They'd look real good on my wall.   :tup: :tup:
