I got these pics in an email. I don't know the story but maybe someone else can fill us in. That looks like it had to hurt.

The reason I say this is because that mass at the end with the blood on it looks completely smooth. Tines and droptines are smooth. It doesn't have the little bumps like on the base of antlers around the brow tine area.
The only way another antler could be that smooth is if it broke off way above the brow tine. As all you know antlers do not bleed, velvet does.
Some have said it looks like part of the skull plate attached to the abnormal antler. If it was than where is the brow tine? Where is the bumpy characteristics that should be present at the base of the antler around the brow tine.

To me it looks like an abnormal drop tine growing under the skin and out the face. I've seen a few deer that this has happened to. That blood at the bottom looks like old velvet and dried blood. It doesn't look like an antler off another deer.

I agree 100%.
Hopefully there will be pics later on of it caped out so we can know for sure.

Looks more like it could be a fight. Just because the antler is growng backwards if it's a growth. :dunno:
It's deffinatly not a fight! Those are just some crazy kickers coming off that drop tine. Blow the picture up and look close to the end where it is supposedly "broke off". It's smooth! That is blood from shedding velvet. Antlers don't bleed when they break. Also if you look close at the side of the head you will see where it goes under the skin.
