[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5453601, member: 17"] I agree. He could do some real damage to other bucks. Actually, the best research indicates all of a buck's antler shape comes from his mother. That's not to say bucks aren't inheriting something from their fathers, but data from UGA's penned facility - where they know the parentage of every deer - finds that sons of the same father do NOT have antlers that are similar between sons nor similar to their father. Yet all of the sons of a single doe will have antlers that look alike. In addition, I don't think this buck's spike antlers are genetic. I think they are injury-induced. [/QUOTE]
