Let's See The Freaks

[bearpaw]

I thought the big buck and big bull threads were fun, how about a thread for anything that is not ordinary "freak antlers and horns", let's make it for any specie with antlers or horns so everyone has a chance to participate.

I'll start it with an awesomely freak spike....

Here is a set of freak mule deer sheds from 2008.

viking you are killing me.....

I have never been lucky enough to be carrying the gun on too many freaks but in MT in 2007 I got this buck. I passed a 140's whitetail that my buddy shot, he thought I was nuts, but I wanted this buck since it was different.

That is wild

Rancher that owns the property had been watching him. He told me one time the buck went to jump the fence, the horn hooked the top wire, and the buck did a summersault in the air, I would like to have seen that. He had about a dozen does, so he was a fairly bad a$$ buck even though he's obviously young. His skull had been cracked but had fused back together.

24" spike from Montana

Heres a wierd little three point we got in Washington a few years back. He was bedded down and I had to get 50 feet from him to confirm that he was a legal buck. His right side has a crown on top and all three of the points are 2" long. And he still had vevlet in October.

Did he have any nuts?

This one did have nuts, but the one I killed the year before that was a huge 2x3 that was still in velvet and he did not have nuts. Those were the last two bucks that I have seen in the area that kept there velvet. I guess we thinned them wierd ones out of the herd.

Wow Craig, thats awesome. Glad you got that thing out of the gene pool.

[bearpaw]

craig did you realize he was just that when you shot him.....

[Craig]

my ranch owner friend actually shot him. I just took my picture him him.  We came over a little hill and At first we just seen a wide buck with five doe. We took out the binos and seen he was a spike and the rancher said we better kill him before he starts trying to breed the doe.

[Craig]

Here are a couple more pictures of him. He had a big body and was a older buck.

Not to unusual but a WA buck in full velvet during general firearm.  All parts intact and could find nothing else abnormal about him.
