It is going to be a good fall!
Cool deer!
HAHA nope not on this one. Piled up within 70 yards.
This buck was a 165" typical 10 pointer last year. We wondered why in the world he had a goofy right side this year. While cleaning him this afternoon we found a broad head in his left hind quarter. The funny thing is I have pictures of this deer all the way through January last year.... I guess someone might of shot him in extended doe season after he had shed...? Seems kind of goofy to me!

Unique one for sure. Tell him congrats! So what do you do now? Lower the bar or hope for some strange to come into your area?
Well actually i live in KS so we only get one tag. I have a few bucks that will be 4.5 years old next year, hopefully one of those blow up. If not i guess i will be after a management 8 pointer!

Very cool buck. Congrats to your dad.
Very cool. Confirms once again the right rear left antler/left rear right antler thing. I recall a seminar at the local Issac Walton some time back and seeing a buck with right side deformity but had not shed velvet. DNR biologist confirmed reason was that buck had ripped his left testicle area on what he said may have been barbed wire but could have been any sharp object.

He could have been shot during bow season, as the rack deformity wouldn't show until this year's rack was growing.
I watched him come and go from the stand multiple times when he only had one side last year. He had a 10 day time laps from the time he shed his left side to his right side. I never saw any sign of an injury then. That is why i think it would of had to been the last week extended season.
