This buck may have been rubbing his head and a little granule of his pedicle rubbed off and stuck on his eye lid and the little antler resulted.

Very cool buck.

Well shucks. I had visions of a skull with that tine coming through the eye socket, but the tine will come off with the skin. Such is reality.

I my self would take it to a taxodermest and see what they could do with it. I have seen them mount a 10 year old rack for a guy with a new cape from a doe.

:D Al

Congrats on the nice buck. That point sure is weird.
