that is very very strange. never saw somethin like that before

i too would probably say its a poor mineral content/nutrition issue. As said earlier try heavy mineral supplementing as soon as bucks drop there antlers in your area. Then see what happens-if its the same as this year you know its a genetics issue. I agree, that tall buck appears to have good potential. I would definitely give him a pass.

have you tested the soil for radioactive waste from the state nuclear plant? Smithers has been sending Homer out with the garbage is my guess.

that's kinda weird never seen that many together
