Yesterday on the way home from work I stopped to do some glassing and the 1st deer I saw was a huge mature buck with one side fully developed and heavy. I counted 6 tines. The other side was half the size and 4 tines. The small side didn't really looked deformed, just small. I've heard several times that if a deer is maybe injured that could cause a side to become deformed. Does anyone know if that's true?? Or are there other reason's that might happen?? Also, would you harvest a buck like this if you had the chance, or let him pass hoping he would grow 2 good sides next year. This deer would do around 170 if both sides were alike. He also was a pig. Very big body.
After I left him I took a walk back farther a watched 2 typical 8's for a few minutes. Not real heavy but nice and wide and long. Maybe around 130 to 140.
