[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5478125, member: 17"] Three primary causes exist for deformed antlers: 1) injury to the growing antler in velvet, 2) body injuries, 3) pedicle damage from an antler being knocked off before it is ready to fall off. I also suspect skull damage due to fighting can play a role, although that has not been documented in the scientific literature as well as the other three causes. Severe deformation of both antlers like on your buck is almost certainly due to pedicle damage. I have one like that. He first showed up last year as a 3 1/2 year-old. Crazy, stubby spikes on both sides (first picture below). This year, we call him "Satan" for his huge spikes (second picture). [/QUOTE]
