Have your ever shoot or encountered a mutant animal ?

I have shoot a mutant deer with abnormal growth antlers, and for the time being, I have a mulie "buck" hanging around my home with justs one abnormal antler that has grown over one of it's eyes.

In the museum in Fort Nelson B.C. I have seen a full mount of an albino moose, as well as deformed cow moose scull with one mutant antler, which was shoot by a hunter, who mistook it for a young bull. The museum owner told me the hunter and his family used the meat for consumption.
 
Got one buck in my hunting area that has a wonky antler that goes down and covers his RH ear. At first glance, you'ld think he only has one antler. Saw another recently with a giant growth in the middle of his chest. I definitely wouldn't be shooting and consuming that one.....
 
Hi,

I shot a spike deer about 10yrs back, he had a huge protusion in the front chest, the size of a big grapefruit :eek:, just between the 2 front shoulder on his lower neck. We didn't know and speculate it was maybe fat or a big cyste. When skinning the deer, we found out it was his blatter :eek: no joke, full of urine and the plumbing went right back to his tool, other then that, he looked in perfect health and tasted reallly good. Not sure if he qualify as a mutant but should be darn close..

Definitely qualifies as a mutant in my books.
 
Odd shaped or missing antlers doesn't make it a mutant. Antlers get broken off regularly. Odd shaped antlers make it 'non-typical'.
 
Atleast now I'm not the only one to witness a deer with a large grapefruit sized growth on it's chest, I seen a doe last Friday like that. I reported it to the fish cops and they said it could be; a cyst, an old wound ie: scare tissue or a wart?
I ain't gonna shoot it that's for sure!

Perhaps you should. I shot a fox once out of season that I SMELLED before seeing. He'd been caught in a snare and had broken loose but his neck had gangrene from the snare. I could see he was dying so I finished him off and then called Fish and Wildlife on PEI. They asked me to drop it off and that was the last I heard of it. But -- small province with 6 or 7 CO's. Probably get reamed for doing the same thing in the other provinces.
