    I’ve finally got a few boys on the trail cams, but this one is an odd duck. I’m thinking this deer a an older deer by the short stubby nose and the girth this guy has, but what happened to the head gear?? Looks like the lord didn’t bless him so well

    And how can one deer find the bushnell small camera, and come up and lick the dang thing….

    Interested to hear what are your thoughts on this deer.

    Ritt, I think that buck may be related to you in some ways!

    I know the older they get they loose much of the tines and shape they had when they were younger. They don’t loose as much in mass as they do the length of the mainbeam and tines and I’ve heard of a buck that had just his mainbeam with no tines at all and his mainbeam was around 12″ long. The guy that seen him said he looked like a billygoat. I don’t know what the reason is for this guy but he looks old, maybe a combination of age, nutrition and maybe a few others. Good summer sausage deer.

    I’m sure it is NEARLY impossible, going way out on a limb here, but what if an archer aiming for his vitals grazed his head and caused stunted antler growth.

    Hermaphrodite deer? Maybe a doe with the gene for horns, but not enough hormones to grow them.

    Probably a very old deer.
    Dad shot a massive body buck about 12 years back. field dressed over 250lbs (scale).
    gray face, almost ghostly white.

    His horns, which we kept, were two “knobs”. One was 3.5 inches, the other was about 2 inches.
    Each one though had a base that is MASSIVE in diameter.

    Figured the old boy got so old, he quit growning horns???
