I was wolf hunting tonight..no wolves...get them in the morning...but found this...
Still has velvet on the back..I think old cactus style buck...but...face chewed off...and ribs are chewed to spine...lots of wolves in area..also cats..no bears...of either species ever seen...

Oh...you can see from pic...a bit of the main beam on both sides eaten of by rodents...but also missing a drop tine on both sides...eaten off as well.

I don't think it is a cactus buck. I've seen that specific kind of deformity several times, mostly in pictures. I think it's a specific condition, but I'm not sure what causes it.

Here's one from this fall.

That could be true...but still has velvet on it...yeah i don't know what time of year it died...

I did try to get my wife to shoot a simular buck...he was smaller than this one though and was a 2x2 with brow tines

Here is my theory. There was a bighorn ram and a mule deer doe. The rest of the animal kingdom thought it was wrong, but they were in love. Later that spring, here came little Johnny. Yeah, the other deer laughed and called him names. And rightfully so. The poor guy had taken a full on beating from the ugly stick.

Wow, that is one messed up deer!! Good luck and God bless.
