Extra Horn ????
 

[hr]
went to my Magnolia stand this morning , did a little rattling.after about 45 min. I say a deer coming stright to me.I though it was a doe till he got about 50 yards,then I could tell he had little spikes.I though they were little ones sticking stright back. when he got about 30 yards,I saw something different about him. I saw he had an extra spike sticking stright out. at 25 yards he was looking for me hard,he would stop look and listen then a step or two and stop and look again.
then he trun around and started to my side. at 25 yards broad side , I grunted and he stopped. I shot and he left wide open. at about 50 yards he crashed.

looking at hin,the size and head and how big the base of the horns were , I could tell he was an older deer.



a close look.


why does this happen to deer ??

Congrats again Tree Climber! ;)

Hard to say if that was just a 1 time abnormal growth or if it's a genetic defect that would grow back yearly. Only way to know would have been to let him walk and watch for him next year.

you ought to try some bacon in your burger. Just put some bacon in there and grind it up with the deer meat. Its good stuff!

RE: Extra Horn ????
 

I add a little beef fat to my burger ; been doing that for a bunch a years now. works out real good,makes it like real hamburger.

Yeah we were doing that and then discovered the bacon thing. I use deer burger for alot of things from tacos to hamburger helper to just plain cheeseburgers. Good stuff!
