This one's gotta hurt !

Been getting quite a few pictures of this buck. Must have snapped his right beam off while the blood is really pumping.
Almost looks like a punching bag hanging from the stub.
I hope he hangs around , it'll be interesting to see what comes of this.
Never saw anything quite like it before.

Can’t believe that hasn’t rotted off yet! I’d expect that sooner or later it will slough away.

So here's the age old question. If that makes through to no velvet, would you take him if the shot presented itself?

Absolutely.

If I wouldn’t, I’m sure the neighbors would. It’s a bummer because he had a great start and is a 3 or 4 year old.

I'd have no regrets harvesting that guy just the way he is. It's called character, and would make a great conversation over burgers. (At his expense)

More than likely it will either fall off or get broken off before too long especially once he attempts to strip his velvet from the other antler.
Pretty interesting though. I assume he had a regular set of antlers last year?
