Title: Contender for Toughest Buck Award
Post by: Yeti on December 09, 2010, 11:36:26 AM

I tried to find the story of this but could not.  It appears to be from this year and it is making the rounds.  Here is the story with the email.


" This deer had some very uncomfortable days until he was harvested by this hunter.  It is obvious that there was a fight during the rut and this deer ended up with an extra antler (embedded below the eye).  You can see that the antler from the attacking deer was broke off below the base of the antler as there is still blood on the pedicel.  That takes a tremendous amount of pressure.  Pretty amazing."

“I have a mineral lick the deer visited for four years before relocating to where Rex took him,” Fraka said. “I really believe the minerals help all deer in developing larger antlers. I can’t explain this abnormal antler from below the eye, though.”

Meth!

Neat looking buck that's for sure!  I must have missed it the first few times around.
