That took longer to appear than I thought

I saw one like that. His main beam ended right in front of his nose. He was a young buck but I would have shot him because of his rack. Some how he managed to get within a few feet of my tree and walked away without presenting me a good shot.

my wife is part of a neurosurgery team. they see humans with small parts of their skull missing pretty frequently. many of these people die despite being in the care of neurosurgeons, living inside instead of out in the snow, not being stalked by opportunistic predators that spot weaknesses like head trauma pretty well, and a whole lot of other things that make life as a deer harder. I would guess its pretty dead. Cool find.

I hear Crystal Meth makes antlers rot off their heads???
