half rack buck

[rooney]

Is this an injury during velvet or is it genetics? 2.5 or 3.5?

 

[deaddownwind]

Looks broke to me

 

[MUP]

Broke looks like. 2.5 would be my guess.

 

[benellivol]

Fighting and broke it most likely

 

[easy45]

Broke, maybe 3.5

 

[BSK]

Broken off after velvet shed, either by sparring or rubbing.

 

[Florida Cracker 971]

Broken off, not genetics.

Even if it wasn't broken off, one deformed antler would usually mean an injury on the opposite side of the deer's body, not genetics.

I noticed that you're located in Gallatin, but was this photo taken in Davidson County? I have a buck that looks identical in some of my recent photos.

 

[rooney]

The picture was taken in sumner county.
