He could've injured that antler when it was growing, or gotten sick, or hit by a car...lots of possibilities. And personally, if it's a legal buck, I'd shoot it.
I love unique deer, most people here know that...it's opportunities that I look forward to, unique or how the hunt unfolds etc...
I'd have to see him to really tell if I'd shoot him or not.
The above quote is right, it could very well have been an injury you can't see.
