2 years ago i had a similar experience, absolutely enormous buck for our area, good solid big bodied deer, first day of rifle season i was on stand and out he came i saw the one horn at first and usually i'm not a head hunter, i hunt for meet, but i got excited at the size and i was getting ready to squeeze when he turned his head and his other was broken off. It's just one of those things that happens, and i passed on the shot figuring if he survived another year he'd be a monster. Turns out after i passed on him someone shot him about 20 minutes later and i came to find he was a half rack six, upsetting, but still a hell of a deer.

So take it anyway, it's a deer..it's meat...it's food. Less antler to chew on? So what.

x2, no matter how long you cook an antler in a crockpot it will never be as good as a backstrap, or even front shoulder for that matter.

You should not "hate" any form of hunting as long as it is legal. I know a lot of rifle hunters, myself included that hunt with rifles, blackpowder rifles, and with archery equipment depending on what season it is.

To the OP, there is no way to know for sure what happened to the buck. Someone shooting his rack off is only one possibility. Maybe he is not the dominant buck in the woods????

I have killed over a dozen bucks in my lifetime (I know, not many for some of you) and have yet to get one that does not have a broken rack. The deer in my area must be some fightin' fools.

You should get down and kiss the gun hunters feet and thank him for keeping the population under control for you. Bow hunting does almost nothing to control the deer herd. This is why the herd stays health and you can still have big deer. My first love is bowhunting but it makes me sick everytime an elitist bashes someone else....if you shoot a crossbow or gun you are scum to some bowhunters. Grow up and see your world isnt the only one that turns.

I see nothing wrong with gun hunting. That is what I grew up doing. My family pretty much only hunts with rifles. We do not have the time to go out and hunt for 3 months. Who is to say it was a gun hunter who shot the rack? Like others have said, it could have been many other things. You are too quick to judge.

Ifn it werent fer dem bow hunters scarin all the dear away before the orange army invaded the woods... us gun hunters would be killin and not huntin! Oh wait... what am I talkin about I hunt with a bow and a gun! LOL

And I agree.. the lopsided rack could be for a multitude of reasons....
