RE: hole in the horn
ya i' ve seen antlers like that here in saskatchewan too but i never give much thought as to why that occured. i have seen hunters shoot antlers off of deer before but if this was a bullet that hit, it would have had an entry and an exit instead it only looks like one hole in the picture. bullet probably would have shatttered the antler too even though the hanson buck didn' t. never knew that was a parasite that caused the hole good to know.
