4 horned blacktail
« on: January 10, 2009, 07:32:18 PM »
hello,
 i am really new to this site. i have hunted all my life but fishing has been more my speciality. i have always tagged out blacktail hunting but i have only shot 2 huge buck, most are just average sized . i shot a deer this year that i am confused over. it had a massive horn that was very heavy and nobby and on the other side he had a spike,a 2 point,another spike and a toe head that was barely breaking the hair in the middle of it's head.
has anyone ever heard of or seen anything like this in a blacktail. or does anyone know what might have caused it? he didn't appear to have any injuries and the horns had seperate crowns. any ideas????

Very neat looking buck!  I have seen and mounted several deer like that.  Most of them have been Whitetail.

The deer was probably injured at one time on that side causing the pedical to be damaged or split.  Resulting in the different beams growing out of the same area.

I have read this as well. When a deer gets injured, it messes up their horns.

 i am getting him mounted.   

i was wondering if it could be genetic. i heard of a buck about 4 miles from there that was suposedly almost identical to mine, same side messed up and everything. at first i thought maybe an injury{ i have heard people say that too} but to have a toe head coming out of his forehead makes me think genetics, hell i have no idea but i thank you guys for your opinions.
