I agree not because of genetics but because he is cool
if its from damage to him i don't know if you would pass that on thru your genes

Ok this is an interesting post. I would guess an injury to his the left side of his body caused the abnormal growth. So you say cull why? He has a great left side. If it was an injury it doesn't alter his genes. Your born with your genetic code. It doesn't change.

Just like in the shows. They shoot an old buck with rag horns, and comment that he needed to be taken out of the herd so he can't breed anymore. Once again why? At 4-5 yrs old he had a monster rack and his horns went rag cause of age and body health not cause his genes changed. Just my two cents.

well said deernutz, well said. But I would more than likely take him because of the character, what a cool mount it would be...
