The Hunt Never Ends....
OUCH! You ever see something like this? (UPDATED @ bottom)
So I've been watching a monster 10 point feed by my house on a regular basis, but it's in the city limits and nobody can hunt him. Obviously, even though I can't hunt them, I still really enjoy watching them.
Late last week I set out in an attempt to get some good footage of the beast of a 10, however, by the time I had arrived to the location I was going to film from, he was already in the field. I couldn't believe it, as there was still 2 hours of light left.
While I was watching the giant, I caught movement directly to my right. Immediately I noticed that it was a good buck, but a quick look later and I couldn't believe my eyes. This guy had a serious issues going on;
His right antler was broken, and hanging from his head. I couldn't tell for sure what it was hanging on by (part of the skull plate or skin?), but I could tell that it wasn't comfortable for him. I managed to get some really good video of him at around 60 yards. I was hoping that the antler was going to fall off while I was filming him, as that would've been very unique footage plus I could've had my first 'shed' of the year
If you're interested, here is the footage; OUCH! Buck With Broken Rack
Any idea on if this deer will survive this type of injury? Do you think it was caused from fighting, getting hit by a car, or something else? Just wondering because I've personally never seen something like this.
