[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5367908, member: 20583"] Ailments and/or injuries cause some weird antler growth. I let a guy hunt a couple years ago and he said he shot a small buck but it ran off as if it wasn't even hit. Well, it showed up in spring at a water hole and the wound was evident, so he had indeed hit it. The exit wound came out way down near belly the opposite side and left him with a slight limp that never went away, even though the wound healed. No idea how he survived a shot like that. He hung around all summer into fall and it was neat to see what he turned into. He grew a double main beam on the entry side. No clue how EHD would affect antler growth but I suspect it could get weird. I personally like character racks. Usually means the buck is a survivor. [/QUOTE]
