No its not, If you look at the holes there on the outside. Anyway Im not gonna get into an arguement on holes in horns. Antlers bend when there in velvet and then harden in that form. Ive been taught alot about horns from very good resources, so I will stick with my info. P.S if you look at the holes closely you,ll see theres still velvet in most were the buck coudnt scrape it off.
