Messed up rack!
« on: December 09, 2010, 09:30:30 AM »
I just started getting pics of this little guy on camera.  What do you think caused his antlers to grow like this.  He doesn't seem to be injured.  Genetics?  In-breading?  Kind of goofy.

We saw one in Foster Creek that had a small fork with no eye guard on the left, and on the right were 2 spikes.  2 separate antler pieces growing from the skull.  Wish I would have gotten a pic.

Here I thought this thread was about something completely different.    :chuckle: :chuckle:

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

My buddy got a deer a few years back in Enumclaw that had a rack like that. Not sure why they would grow like that though?

It would be nice to see him in a few years with a giant non typical rack.

My thoughts exactly. 4 more years on him, that's what he needs.

Alright, so if I get a shot on him, let him go or take him?  I have permission to hunt on this property now, and should be able to hunt there in following years, but you never know.  I thought the same about my spot last year until the lady up and moved and the new owner's said No Way. So take him or let him go?
