Let's see the Ugly/Unusual Antlers!

grouseman said:
normally( and I can't explain why) when one side of a deer is injured the opposite side of the deers antlers are abnormal...take for example this buck that lives on an island near thunder bay( no hunting) one yr it had a beautiful symmetrical rack, he was an all around nice young buck. later in the winter around late Dec, he was hit by a vehicle, but only his left leg was injured, it was actually pretty gross to see him hobblying around on it, but he survived the winter. next spring a friend of mine( I think he belongs to this forum as well) was at the island and took pictures of this buck in velvet and in bone and you can distinctly see an odd side to his rack...and guess what side its on? BINGO his right side( opposite of injury)
if you look close in both pictures, you can see the healed wound on the bucks left side on his hocks

it kinda follows the same rules as people who suffer from strokes..if the stroke is sufferedd on the right side of teh brain, then the left side of the body will feel the effects....im not sure that makes sense but thats the extent of my knowledge

Looking at that second picture reminds me of knee surgery. painful to look at.
 
Here's one I took last year. Big bodied buck only 1/2 a rack and he was beaten up bad. I think he broke the one half off in a fight and took a licking.

This guy was a warrior, notice the scarring and broken tines.
When I skinned him he had absolutely no fat at all.

To much fighting and fornicating

Unusual enough:confused: :D Just a little fella my buddy took back in '94. He caused a bit of a stir at the time. Buddy still owns him, but he hangs in the new Wholesale Sports in Winnipeg. Scored in the 261" range.
 
OOkay...... that worked but DANG...those are small pictures... Wonder what I'm doing wrong?
back to the forum instructions....

So ugly he went into disguise because didn't want to be seen with it! :p
 
I wouldn't call him ugly, but I'd say he qualifies as unusual. I had to go back home for help getting him out, and when I told Dad that he was huge, and he asked "how huge?", I told him that I thought he was half moose.

I don't have a decent shot of the left antler, but it's palmated like the right.
