[QUOTE="Shed Hunter, post: 3883252, member: 10556"] I would personally think any rubbing damage would not cause abnormal growth as he would already have hardened antlers (unless of course he rubbed so hard it caused complete breakage and pedicle damage). I've read those stickers are often called calcium nodules and are essentially just big versions of the "bumps" you see on the lower portion of some antlers--can't remember where I read that so don't take my word for it. On many deer those points you describe are probable just random trash I've always wondered what causes many clean framed young bucks (particularly ones with large antlers) to generally grow a sticker or two of some sort as they mature Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
