Vampire Buck?
« on: August 26, 2009, 04:53:59 PM »
  Two years ago I shot a nice 4x4 whitetail in the N.E. corner. Had a skull mount done and my Taxidermist me something I had never seen before. The buck I killed had 2 upper K9 fangs about 1 1/4" forward from his teeth about 5/16" long. Anybody care to comment on this. I'll post pics when I can.

Probably similar to wolf teeth in horses....some herbivores will have canine type teeth it seems to be a genetic throwback and is more common in some breeds than others at least in horses.

I have had a couple of skulls through y shop with those.  Some times they will have only one.  Back in the day I guess deer use to have fangs.  Like the Chinese water deer.

Neighber killed a whitetail up Bonners Ferry last year that had "vampire teeth". Must be a little more common than we think?

Not sure I have any pic's of the ones I did.  The last one I did was probably 4 years ago.
