Thanks,

Yeah, I thought the contest would be fun, and it is, but it kinda put me in asituation where I didn't want to let them down.After getting a real good look at him I am glad Ishot him.The antlerdoesn't look to be damaged in any way it just grew out like that. I don't know if it would have cleared the nose next year or not. He wasn't really growing a big rack to begin with, hewas 2 1/2. It might have but then again maybe not.

It was already sticking into his skin and a callus of some sort had formed. It's different that's for sure and the first time I ever saw a complete antler rotated down like that.
