Post by: groundandskyfever6 on August 11, 2012, 12:05:01 PM: sometimes injury can change scull structure or force anteler growth to be abnormal, very cool

Post by: ORBowHunter on August 14, 2012, 12:42:45 PM: Crazy looking growth... I wonder how he fares with the ladies...?

I kindof hope he doesn't pass those genes along!

Post by: Sneaky on August 14, 2012, 12:55:11 PM: Friend of mine's son shot a spike whitetail a few years back that had the same thing going on - turned out that the antler had actually broken at the skull and when the velvet went away it fell off

Post by: hornhunter1987 on August 14, 2012, 01:47:06 PM: bucklucky has a picture on his site of a blacktail that had a horn growing down along side his face. pretty cool :tup:
Title: Re: have you ever seen anything like this!!!! (freak dear)
Post by: chukarchaser on August 14, 2012, 09:49:56 PM: I to have seen this before. The buck had a deformed right horn and and his left rear leg had been broken in the past but was fully healed when killed. I even remember reading somewhere that this type of horn growth reflects damage done to bone structure on the opposite side of the body.

Post by: coyotecrazy on August 14, 2012, 10:10:52 PM: I passed on a buck like that last year. One side was a nice 2 point, the other an odd mess, I just couldn't put three points on one side for sure. It is neat too see deer like that.

Title: Re: have you ever seen anything like this!!!! (freak dear)
Post by: sirmissalot on August 15, 2012, 10:32:02 AM: I have a 4 point blacktail that has a drop horn going down one side of its face. The 4 point side is awesome, big fronts and small backs and the drop horn is just a big club with an eye guard.

Post by: Wildsau on August 15, 2012, 10:37:45 AM: IMHO These bucks are perfect to be taken out of the gene pool. They'd look real good on my wall. :tup: :tup:
