Looks like a browtine gouge to me. A broadhed would have glanced off or penetrated and i don't see any patter resembling either---but that is just my own personal observation--just don't try and disagree!!!!

i have no clue if it is a triangle shape i would say broadhead if not it could be alot of things.

If it was a horn, the deers head must have been on the ground or something. I think the neck would have given enough to not let the horn/tine pierce the bones in the nose. If not, I am sure that would happen all the time.

Broadhead, or some freak fighting accident with the head againstthe ground.

I shot a Big 9pt a few years back, and the first thing I noticed when I seen it, was how Big its nose was, and that it was limping. After recovering the Buck and getting a closer look at it, He had gore and punctures all over him and had taken a tine up thenose so hard it had torn the snout compltle away from the jawline and skull with bone damage. It could have been a Tine or Brow tine!

Thats def, not a broadhead wound because i have seen that on only one deer before in my life. It was a puss wound on the face that was busted somehow. but that one looks a little more different

I would say antler

Maybe buckshot and then it got infected??????

Too much deer Co Cain!

Looks as if some type of puncture that became infected most likely a tussel with another buck. The pitted appearence is what brings me to my conclusion.

To me it looks exactly like a rubber blunt point hit it they leave marks like that+I've heard of A....holes that shoot deer with them on the off season I saw a guy shoot a free range cow it didnt kill it but must have hurt so I turned him in
