I know there has to be someone else out there that would find this interesting for a few minuets besides me. This is the cap of the deer I use for my avatar. The only sign of damage I see is from my knife. When I arrowed him in 2005 at 20ish yards, he was facing away from me. I thought he had broke the other side off picking a fight with someone. I only discovered the other antler growing over his eye when I rolled him over at recovery.

Hay. He still was walking past me with his good eye when I arrowed him. lol

Thats pretty neat!!

 

[RRJJ]

Cool! He was even acorn'd on his right side.

I did always wonder what in the hell was going on in your avatar! Thanks for sharing this.

 

[CJD3]

Anyone know what sort of damage would cause this?

 

[Huckleberry Finn]

Very cool. I did think a few weeks ago, why does he have that dink in his picture, and never saw the right side.

I've read lots of things can cause it right down too damaged testicles...... OUCH!!!! Gotta make sure you clear the fence when attempted rotflmao

 

[CJD3]

Little late to check his underside now J. lol

 

[CJD3]

Do you think they would have grown properly next season or would that "acorning" have cause the same odd growth every year?

 

[Jackalope]

Hard to say. Probably would have grown something funky again next year. But hard to say if it would have dropped down like that again.

 

["J"]

If an injury caused it then he may have had a semi normal rack the following year but I'm thinking he probably wouldn't have been much better then what you see just maybe a little straighter..... when I get more time I'll fill you in on a buck my buddy killed a few years back..... still makes me cringe when I think about it.....
