Took this crazy horned mule deer buck in North TX last week. He had a normal 3 point antler with a brow tine on the left side but the right side had a weird droopy antler with 4 little points on it. The husband of a lady that teaches at the same school I do has been watching him on their place for 2 years and he was crazy last year too. He wanted him taken but didn't want to use his own tag since he is watching a big 4x4. Since I hunt meat I jumped all over it. When I rolled him over to field dress him I found that he had an old healed gunshot wound to the rear left ankle. It was swelled up about the size of a baseball. That might explain the crazy antler since an injury on one side of deer often affects antler growth on the opposite side.
A single shot at about 80 yards with my 9.3x62 Mauser did the trick. This is the 95th deer I have taken on license.
Cheers Y'all
