Son got an unusual Blacktail. My wife says it looks like it has arthritis in its antlers

Awesome!
Why do you think the bases are light colored?

Not sure about the bases. I thought it was bark from rubbing.

Those bases are unique. It also looks like the tips of his tines are light colored also. I think whatever he was rubbing on didn't get much transfer to those spots. What a dandy and perfect name. How much history does he have with this buck?

Very cool! Way to go!
When I inevitably choke to death on gummy bears, I’d simply like it said that I was “killed by bears”, and leave it at that

Awesome buck! Just looks like the bases are dry from body heat maybe and the rest of his antlers wet still? Let us know how they look in a few days.

The body heat theory is a good theory. I just went and looked at them again, and that bottom portion of the antlers is still quite a bit. Lighter must’ve been some kind of bark stuck in them that didn’t get as dark
