Funny buck rack

This guy showed up on my trail camera yesterday. I’ve decided it’s not a camera issue. Looks like all points were “nipped” off.
As a veterinarian I’m thinking that during his later antler growth he may have developed a septicemia or hormone issues that caused to tips to slough due to lack of blood flow to the tips.
Anyone else ever seen this?

I've never seen something like that

Seeing your title made me think of this one that I've been getting pictures of recently.

Do you live near feeders? I’ve heard some stories and seen some screwed up bucks from Iowa feeders.

Looks like it was moving as the picture was taken. I don’t think that the ends are flat
