Thanks for confirming that what I already pointed out as the cause of the deformed antlers was from injury and has nothing to do with poor genetics or poor antler development of older bucks.

With the number of injuries you say this buck had it is a wonder it had antlers this good.

As far as the missing front teeth that might well have been from the same injury that broke his skull and split his left antler pedicel. I would suspect he was hit by a vehicle and then was lucky enough to survive.

By the way how were his upper front teeth?

Deer dont have upper front teeth. They have a pad.

Ohh Boy

They were sabre toothed. Good try Mr. Bodenhorn.
