Check this fella out...  A really close friend of mine found this guy dead along a creek one week into bow season while he was kayaking.  No apparent wound - had been dead less than a day or two.  Awesome double beam rack.  I wish I would have taken a photo with me holding it for scale.  It's a huge rack - just look at how small the skull plate looks.  It's a solid 150" frame shape.  Awesome rack, I would have loved to have seen him on the hoof.  

 

 

On the small farm I grew up hunting there was a genetic trait of a spike on the left side of many of the bucks for a good 5 year span.  In early season when you'd see the bachelor groups it would go from a nice "would-be" 8 pt. down to a spike - all would have a 4 or 5 spike on the left side, and the right antler grew larger and normal each year.

This one had an infection in the skull at the base of the antler. When I skinned it there was puss coming from a hole in the bone near the antler. It didn't go through to the brain. You can see the hole in the first and third pic.

What a brute ceme24.
Am I seeing correctly??? Does that buck have a third antler growing in the center of his head?

Yeah.  It's weird.  It comes out of the base of its left antler but has skin all around it so looks like a third antler.  Really interesting deer

Showed up at a Deer Classic many years ago. Don't know more than that. Lots of mass!
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

sorry, but you guys suck at finding what I'd call ODD racks...those are gorgeous!

THIS...THIS IS "odd!"

   

Dang thing had velvet inside as it couldn't scrape it off... looked more like some antelope I shot in MT.

Now to me, and my view, that is ODD...I'd give a left one t o see, let alone shoot AT any of the above you guys posted! Crikey!

Course, that was central PA where 80% o f bucks are spikes...from 3" to 16" bladed and 140# bodies!   :(
The words "Child" and "terminal illness" should never share the same sentence! Those who care-do, others question!
