My buddy shot this 10pt in Buffalo, Texas yesterday morning. 27 degree's..........ANYWAY........this buck had this hole in his horns. I heard some jkind of beetle does it while they are in velvet.......is that true ?

i think it's from a tick. when the antlers are in velvet ticks will occaissionalyfeed on the soft antlers. i have an 8 point on the wall with a hole on the bottom side of it'sright main beam.
