Title: Vampire Buck?
Post by: NWBREW on August 26, 2009, 04:53:59 PM: Two years ago I shot a nice 4x4 whitetail in the N.E. corner. Had a skull mount done and my Taxidermist me something I had never seen before. The buck I killed had 2 upper K9 fangs about 1 1/4" forward from his teeth about 5/16" long. Anybody care to comment on this. I'll post pics when I can.

Post by: Michelle_Nelson on August 26, 2009, 09:37:26 PM: I have had a couple of skulls through y shop with those. Some times they will have only one. Back in the day I guess deer use to have fangs. Like the Chinese water deer.

Post by: Michelle_Nelson on September 26, 2010, 02:56:09 PM: Imagine how many deer actual have those. he hunters/taxidermists that just cut the heads/horns off and throw them in the trash with out looking. Most of the teeth are under the gum line and you need to scrape the gum away to find them.
