I put down a beautiful 2.5 year old eight point (approx 20" wide) with a ML last year that had a broken leg in late Dec. When it fell down a hill toward me both sides came off. The year before my brother shot a 10 about the same time of year. We recovered it and both sides came off in our hands. That deer was not wounded however.

Come to think of it several years ago Iputdownanother winged little eight point with a ML in december. That guy lost one of his antlers when I shot. That makes three that I know of.Ithappens earlierwhen they are wounded and stressed.
