I dunno Migrant,I'm just going by what was reported on the B&C website?Not "my -space",facebook,or hillbillyhunter.com.This was on Boone&Crockett's Trophy Watch,a highly regarded org that wouldn't like egg in it's face and likely wouldn't fall for a hoax?At first glance the antler appears to be backwards,but look at the droptine?Also,I've seen many antlers in the past that appear "clublike" at the end,and it sure looks like velvet hanging there,not hide/hair etc?As for the blood,could be just from the hunter handling/dragging etc.?Any buck I've ever shot had plenty of blood on the antlers by the time it was on the truck.And if it was fresh blood as a result of being gouged off of another deer's head,why is there no blood and puss on the fresh wound around the deer's eye?You could argue that it was an antler from the year before and the eye wound had healed over,but why if that's the case is there still velvet hanging there?
It's simply a freak.

Well, let"s not fall out over it!
(esp at Christmas!)
I"ve seen lot"s of rut injuries(mostly Reds in Scotland, and I used to work on a deer farm) and this looks very much like a fight injury, but without seeing it first hand I can"t say more than that.
As a wise man once said, "believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see!"

Highly improbable not enough blood around the wound .
Wow! That Chevy seems to have a dead deer growing out of its box. I think I read an article about that once.
The truck and the deer could have had a fight, it happens this time of year. The truck's horn appears to have got stuck in the deer.
Or maybe someone just staged the photograph and placed a dead deer in the truck to make it look like it was growing out of the truck.

Looks like a third antler. It happens on occassion. I have seen pics of a deer with a unicorn like antler growing from low on the forehead, just slightly above the eyeline. As for the "flesh" etc at the bottom it is velvet. I have seen deer with a soft ball sized lump at the end of what would otherwise have been a normal point, growing on an otherwise normal antler. They do not seem able to rub the velvet from these rounded "points".
