Deer with broken tines

[Clay Showalter]

I am curious how often you guys see deer with broken tines? I see a couple every year, I had one a few years ago and had broke off almost every tine.

By the end of rut, a lot of them have.

I had a decent 8 turn into a spike by the end of November. Broke off every tine except his main beams lol

Yep pretty common in areas with high numbers of bucks, for obvious reasons.

This old bruiser lost almost all of his tines by gun week last year.

If you are hunting a deer and he isn't broken up by mid November, never call to that deer. He doesn't like conflict.

I think the red squirrels attack them in their sleep... Because I never see them fight around here anymore lol
