maybe it's a diet deficiency. but most likely from fighting. it happens. probably a big one tearing them up. the bruisers break there racks and kick their butts plain and simple. I know where there's a slammer buck and any of the bucks who dare to tangle with him get busted up some. One deer i shot and had mounted had a messed up skull plate like it had been fractured and a couple of broken points. You probably got a real bruiser running around. also...look for puncture wounds on the face and around the eyes of deer you take. My deer had a battle scar on it's face.
