I have this guy frequenting my backyard. Obviously, if he had both antlers, he'd be something to behold.
I'd like to hear your thoughts, experiences, observations on antler breaks.
If they break down into the skull, I would imagine that buck is forever messed up, that it'll grow back wonky. Am I right?
If they break off above the base, can they grow back the following year normally?
Can this be genetic?
If one of my kids has a shot on it, I won't tell them 'no,' but I'm curious to know how many of y'all would let this one walk hoping it would have both next year (assuming nobody else shoots it first).
Thanks,
TJM
