My brother and I disagree about what made this hole in this buck's face. I think he was stabbed in a fight by another buck's antlers. He thinks this hole is from a broadhead. It is shaped like a triangle, but I doubt the arrow wouldn't have gone all the way through. What do y'all think?

Trae

did you skin the fur off his face? I'm curious what the bone in his nose looked like. I'd think if it were a broadhead, it would have clear cut marks from the blades. It's a pretty big hole for an antler. I'd think if it were an antler, it would have to go in pretty deep to get that big.

I would guess broadhead if given only the 2 choices.
Like Pops said, the bone will tell the story.

Looks like a broadhead wound to me ... boyI'm sure that had to mess up his sense of smell.

That is wild. I never heard of a deer stabbing another through the skull, so I'd guess it's from a broadhead.

Meteor!


I'd guess broadhead too.

He was sniffing a doe and she wanted nothing to do with it and gave him the hoof.

I shot one about 15 years ago that had been shot by a broadhead a bit closer to the nostrils. the shaft had broken off and the head had passed through and was proturuding out under the chin. If that wound is from a broadhead, it must have been deflected and didnt hit with much energy.

The wound in the skin certainly looks like a broadhead wound.

I think he got stabed with a antler.

That's what my brother thinks. The wound does look like a broadhead, but underneath the bones weren't "cut" they were broken. It looked like a sharpe point stabed him, that's why I thought it was from an antler.
