Based on the way his points round off like that is it possible he was wounded another way? Looks like he probably wasn’t healthy at the end of antler growing season in late July/early August

He was definitely messed up in multiple ways, he had what I believe were Fibromas on his left side as well. Black warty growths, two of them, one was brussel sprout size and the other about like an orange. I did not dissect or inspect after skinning. None to be found elsewhere.
That's in addition to the bullet wound and whatever was going on in his brisket/neck, which I think were some form of tumors or cancer.
He very much looked like he was ready to go before I pulled the trigger, especially since he didn't bust "point blank" or even fan me with his ears.
As best I could tell the rest of the meat was fine and clear.
