I wonder if that ever would have healed? Sure doesn't seem like it would.  Did he look to be blind in that one eye? That eye socket is broken right in half!   

That deer had to have been in a lot of pain. I'm glad you were there to put him out of his misery.

95% chance it would have healed, I have a friend that has an elk ckull plate like that, it is just a big old thing of bone now, looks like the plate had been broken twice

so if that had healed, and he grew his horn out to the side like that next year, how would he be scored? we he score with a huge spread, but not be book eligible?

Either way that is a heckuva nice deer!  Congratulations!

That is a very nice buck either way... Congrats to you... I would also like to see who he was fighting against...

Wow Crazy how much animals can go through out in the wild!!

Dang.  That buck must have been looking for a hunter to shoot it, it was probably in some serious pain.

Possible fight or someone with a light caliber and bad aim? Nice buck!
