It was a 2-3 year old buck.... granted, it's not huge. lol... I know.
But, beggars can't be choosers. Right?
It was the first legal buck I had a chance at this year. Legal meaning 3 point or better area. I saw a ton of much bigger 2 points, with no eye guards.
But, meat is meat.... so I took him. :)
I believe his antlers are all messed up because he had an injury on his left front ankle.
It looked like he had a .22 shot in his ankle. There was a small hole scarred over, and all swelled up.
Is it true that antler developement may be sacrificed in the spring for nutrients being diverted to be used to heal an injury?
If so... that may explain this very non-typical rack.
Either way, thought I would share pics with the forum. Thought you guys might get a kick out of this one.
And please... Post your pics of what you think might be the wierdest looking legal buck of the year.

It looks like more of an actually injury to the antler itself or a genetic defect. my money is on a antler injury. Pretty sure it wasn't the result of left ankle injury.
Pretty sure he was a genetic retard, those are both sides of his antlers. Hopefully I ended his genes, haven't seen on like that in the area since I shot him, matter off fact he was the last buck I have seen there since.

and super tamed like a little pet.
it walks away slowly if you approach it and its in the thick of the woods--
ran in to it a few times.
Never could hunt such a cuteee...
I think the tribe thinks he is sacred.
