Bragg, NC shot a Whitetail with a rack that was complete distorted on one side. When we went back to the hunting station to sign out from the hunting area, we showed it to the wildlife officer. He told us to look for an old injury on the opposite side of the deer as the distorted side of the rack. Sure enough, the deer had been shot in the left front quarter at some point and the right side of his rack was the craziest thing I had ever seen. Just throwing that out there.

I think that's a commonly accepted cause, at least that is what I was always told. Whatever side the injury is on, it will be expressed in an antler deformation on the opposite side usually.

This exists in other natural elements as well. I learned first hand last year with a large Maple tree in my back yard. I removed a lare section of root about 30' from the tree, and then this summer I lost 3 large branches on the opposite side of the tree from where the root was. Very interesting how that one root portion was directly tied to those branches and not the others.
