"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

The bull is a Criptoid / Cryptorchid, meaning his testes never dropped. Its a genetic thing and has kept him sterile, this is usually self resolved after age 2, he must be a young one, it also makes their testosterone do weird crap. there ya have it folks  :tup:

i answered this pages ago, he didn't castrate himself on a log  :chuckle:

 Lack of testosterone, so the antlers don't harden and the velvet stays on. They also don't shed ,so I'm told. They just keep grown lightwieght antler and can grow some huge racks but more like sponge than bone. I hear most become winter kill do to the blood flow through the velvet dropping body temp.

The first buck i saw harvested was a cactus buck.  It had no nuts, but it didnt have velvet.  The antlers were a blueish color and softer than normal antlers.

Bummer no Rocky Mountian Oysters.   :chuckle:

In Germany they are called a Perückenbock.  (Buck with a perm)  You can eat the meat because there is nothing wrong with it.  And the answers stating that it is due to a lack of testicles is place is correct and the Antlers are never shed.  Here is a link to one of the more famous ones from Germany http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Perueckenbock.JPG&filetimestamp=20090912143147

He is located at the Hunting and fishing Museum in Munich.  If you are ever there it is a great museum that is real close to downtown.

That is very weird....It looks like he scraped something out of the Coral reef. Is it just a moldy long velvet material? Would he even taste good?
