I would probably pass that buck, the only way/reason that I would shoot that buck is if that drop tine seemed to cause pain or extreme discomfort to the deer. Which could very easily happen if another point where to grow underneath the deers jaw. Most of the time when a deer is injuried and his antlers become nontyicalish, once he recovers from his injury his antlers will grow back like normal. If a deer suffers an injury that will not allow the deer to heal normally then the antlers will stay nontyicalish. But this deer might very well be a normal looking 8 or 10 pointer next year. If his leg heals up then you probably wont regonize him next season.

cool looking critter, looking at your most recent pick th deer does not look very healthy... Not much meat on them bones that are showing, I would bet he does not make it through the winter this year...

One more thing, is that a GIANT tick on his shoulder or some sort of healed up injury??

RE: 2 y/o Non Typical Pics from my Leaf River
 

Not too sure, he has one on both sides. I am not sure what exactly it is. The more I look at close up pics of this deer the more I think he may get taken out this year if he doesn't start to look more healthy. There are other pics where he is really looking skinny with all sorts of ribs sticking out.

One on both sides?????? He might have been shot...

Yeah...........bizarre huh?

My step mom is a veterinarian, and I showed her the pics and she isn't sure what it is either. Here is a pic from the other side.

yeah thats crazy

RE: 2 y/o Non Typical Pics from my Leaf River
 

Thats pretty interesting. I would say he is crippled, probably from a car. His front shoulder doesn't look right, and neither does his left hip. I doubt he will make it through the winter unless he has a miraculous recovery. I would keep an eye on him and see how he progresses, and decide closer to season on what to do. JMHO

Odd looking deer. He leaves all kinds of questions unanswered. I would kill him if he gives you the oppertunity. Don't think you want him in your herd not knowing what is wrong with him.
