Curly - What is this
I got this small deer I been watching all year with brow tines that curl out so we knicknamed Curly. Well in the last week he broke off one of his brows , but as you can see in the new picture there is either a straight stick or what appears to be a broken arrow through his neck. What does every else think it is? I know the newest pic is blasted with flash but I can't figure out what it is.

RE: Curly - What is this
I'm going to disagree with you guy's on this I'm pretty sure it's an arrow shaft. My reasoning is take a straight edge of paper or card and align it to both sides of the shaft. It's perfectly in-line with each other can't say I've ever seen a stick that straight before. But wondering if it's been stuck with this arrow behind the head in between the hide and muscle? If you get this buck let us know. Very interesting. Good luck.

I lean toward a stick or other natural item. If it's an arrow, then he managed to break off both ends without getting it out--no fletching or broadhead, plus it's not long enough to be an unbroken arrow.

RE: Curly - What is this
It looks like a stick to me also. If you look just above his head just inside of his unbroken brow tine... u can see what appears to be some more of the stick. It looks like a wish bone shaped limb that has managed to "fork" his brown tine. Hopefully that makes sene.
