Awesome either way. Love non-typ deer

 

[dovahkiin]

funny thing is my cuz killed one with a smaller rack but identical otherwise about ten miles away

 

[catman529]

Maybe pedicle damage but either way a very very cool looking buck

 

[infoman jr.]

I don't know, but I doubt he grows it that way next year. Nice buck!

 

[Lost Lake]

Nice!!

 

[in the dog house]

What a stud!!! Congrats!

Very unique, good deer. Likely caused by pedicle damage.

My uncle shot a deer similar to that a few years ago. We thought it was because a broken "ankle" on the opposite side of his body from the weird rack side. The "ankle" was broken for 2 years I've read somewhere that injuries to legs can also cause antlers to grow offset. It could also be pedicle damage. Still a very good unique buck. Congrats.

Your correct, leg injuries can affect antler growth and normally follows the rule of, damage to front leg will see same side antler misconfiguration, back leg injury will see opposite antler misconfiguration.

Awesome Buck!!!

 

[Bone Collector]

Congrats either way heck of a buck!

 

[MattR]

Cool deer

Could be either one or a leg injury as someone posted. I love those double main bucks. I would lean freak or injury rather than genetics.

 

[parkerxbowhunter]

Either way it's awesome if it were me I'd hope for genetics love the weird ones.

 

[dovahkiin]

he was walking fine and i looked for some kind of injury on his legs, could not find any. i have saw some weird racks on leg injured bucks also. i had a funky palmed six on camera at the same place last year but the antlers do not look anything alike other than being a freak lol, this one was actually tearing the woods down fighting with a nice nine opening morning. i got the nine then and got this one tuesday evening in that 30 mph wind

 

[LA man]

Ide shoot him, congrats

 

[Gravey]

Unique either way. Congrats!

 

[Labboy]

Sweet

 

[gobblegrunt]

Great buck!

 

[bowriter]

Could also be a testicle injury, not apparent and won't limp. But with a double main, I lean toward genetics.

 

[JayHay]

I don't know, but I doubt he grows it that way next year. Nice buck!

LOL! If he does then we really have somthing to talk about.

GREAT BUCK!!
