My buddy shot this strange buck. He thought it was a really big doe. His eight yr. old son didn't shoot it but has been going a bunch with daddy for a couple years, and this is his first time to witness closing the deal. Is he fired up or what?
I wasn't there to see it, but my buddy said it field dressed at about 110 pounds and looked to be maybe 1 1/2 yrs. old.
I have seen this once before where the antlers are just barely more than a button but weak even for a spike. They are not broken off, just very short. Can anyone explain what's going on here? Just stunted growth or what? The herd seems to be healthy. Thanks.
