Default RE: Deformed Buck Picture

i saw a buck just like that at a checking station here in baltimore last year. some guy from DNR said it was a rare deformity coused by an infection from a bug bite that causes the nose to swell and get deformed at a young age while bones are soft. it really does look like a horse' s nose and it even has those large elongated nostrils. im not saying that this buck couldnt have been in an accident, but i am just relating that there have been known cases of that deformity for another reason
